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..

I take it you have the 20-50mm lens and that will only zoom in and out if you zoom it by hand. So I guess you are talking about it hunting for focus. There will be two main possible causes. First the light maybe to low on an object with little contrast or second there is an issue with your camera. I suggest when you next experience the issue point the camera immediately at something bright and contrasty to check it actually works OK. If you think you have a duff one send it in for service.

I have owned one for some time and it is not buggy at all. I am very happy with it.
