I purchased an NX30 last Spring/early Summer and shortly after setting it up, it malfunctioned. The camera would play back photos on the card but declined to take any new images. The screen was dark like the lens cap was still on the camera. I received a replacement from the vendor and it worked well until yesterday when a similar problem occurred. The screen displays information which seems to indicate that the lens cap is still in place, e.g. shutter speed time is 30 plus seconds. The screen displays data but no image in capture mode. Any thoughts on cause or cure?

I'm on vacation right now and don't have the warranty information. What is the standard warranty?

I had a similar problem when using Shutter mode. At times the camera would default to 30 sec exposure, but I pressed the shutter thinking I am was on 1/125 or something, and the camera gives the read-out you report above.

Can't tell you how many times this happened to me with a group of people lined up for my shot.

I had to remove the battery, turn on, set speed, then all is ok.

Just careless shooting on my part.

After all these years, I am just like a kid, I see something and pick up my camera and shoot - without checking my settings - my very bad habit. Because of this I leave my camera on Auto when I put it in my bag.

Wished Samsung would make the initial speed at the fast end of the range.
