NX3000 with 16-50mm Kit lens: Strange sounds and zoom jerkiness

I got the NX3000 recently and everything seems great apart from this issue that happens occasionally:

The camera (probably the lens) starts making some quite loud sounds when moved. It also makes sounds when zooming in and out, and the zoom becomes very jerky, not smooth as it is usually.

If I turn off and then on the camera, the issue disappears.

This issue happens seemingly randomly (happened 3-4 times so far), and I haven't been able to reproduce it intentionally. So i have no idea what triggers it.

I haven't upgraded the firmware of the camera or the lens yet.

Samsung NX3000
