I have the NX1 and 50-150 F2.8 semi-permanently attached since the day I got them. Now that the system is dead, my plan was to hold off buying any other APS-C sports body until this combo dies. Background: I have all systems from FF to 1" of all brands. So, for the past two years, I've been shooting the NX1 strictly for high framerates (pictures not video).

So, two weeks ago I was at Huntington Beach, CA for the AVP and I realized that the left top knob on my NX1 was dented. I can no longer set ISO from the top button (no big deal) but I'm stuck on multi-frame drive setting. This must have happened sometime the past two years but I've never even looked at it nor did I ever wanted to move out of multi frame mode. So, I guess I'm "stuck" (pun intended) shooting only high speed with my NX1.

That's the ironic moment.

Now for the issue:

don't know why but first happened for the first time shooting with the NX1.

When shooting center AF, AF-C, I would get a sequence of three exposures, where one is over exposed, one ok, one under exposed. I checked and I'm not doing exposure bracketing. These triplets occurs randomly during the shoot. No apparent pattern.

On the second day, I switched to center AF, AF-S and the triplets went away but I know get, every once in a while, a dark exposure, completely dark.

I plan to shoot again this weekend so any suggestion? In all other aspects, camera working perfectly, correct focus, correct exposure. Still one of the best APS-C sports body available.

It's amazing, the number of people that drop and dent up these expensive cameras. Sorry to hear that. What's keeping you from taking it to camera repair center or sending it off to one? Doesn't have to be Samsung repair center, perhaps some other camera repair place can repair it for you.

I would hate to be stuck in high speed mode, and curious why anyone would shoot in that as default setting. That's made for only specific instances to use that mode.

Sounds like your camera has more problems from whatever you hit it against, if exposure not working properly. Again...take it to a repair center. Get it fixed in a week and be happy. Or sell it for parts/not working on ebay and buy something else. No one here on this forum will be able to fix those issues for you.
