I have a lovely NX1000 which works well 90% of the time. I use it to take pics for my ebay business (vintage clothing). However, sometimes I'll flip a jacket over and the camera will decide to zoom in, zoom out, focus, zoom in, zoom out, focus and refuse to take a picture.

Lighting conditions, and item being photographed are identical to when it is functioning..

Sounds like it has trouble focusing, hence not taking a photograph.  You can try manually focusing when it has trouble doing so automatically--I am guessing it happens in low light conditions or else low contrast.
