Maybe the OP can shoot Raw+Jpeg with the adapter using shutter priority as a test.

My adaptor is stuck on my Nikon 17-50 2.8, and never got zero raw files.

Well, I did test most other things in pure RAW mode now and it worked every time. Formatted the card just in case.

Also - I found some log files at the root of the card with the same date and close to the time the pics were (not) taken. Do any of you have something like this on your cards?

20140806_211704_dlog.inf

20140806_211704_log.inf

dmesg.inf

These are filled with all sorts of information like:

Booting Linux on physical CPU 0

Linux version 3.5.0+ (spandhare@sachinLaptop) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-202) ) #14 PREEMPT Tue Jul 8 12:35:03 KST 2014

CPU: ARMv7 Processor [412fc098] revision 8 (ARMv7), cr=10c53c7d

CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache

Machine: Samsung-DRIMeIV-NX2000

And then something like "NX300 sound initialization... done". Guess there is a lot of overlap between the cameras.

Anyhow, I also wrote to Samsung support and attached the logs, just in case.

EDIT:

Ok, this may be interesting to someone. Did some testing and it seems like the log files actually showed up due to me trying to find a way to take a screenshot with the corrupt files on the camera. Since it's Tizen, something very mildly similar to Android and also meant for mobile devices I thought that maybe some key combination would do it.

If I press the Home key and the Dial in together for a bit the green focus light comes on and three log files are saved to the root of the card. Neat!
