Re: NX300 Mode Dial Issue
1

I'd like to revive this thread, since my nx300 has started to show the same issue. The dial switches mostly from A mode to S mode, at times, when I touch it.

Now here's my 2 cents on the issue. The dial is placed near the shutter button, and we are applying some lateral pressure, even by resting our finger on it,  when reaching for the shutter or taking a photo.

The inside of your index (at the joint) is applying some pressure on the dial, which starts to go crazy after a while.

One of the comments in the thread stated that he pushed hard on the dial, and the problem had disappeared. ( Did it ever return, I wonder?)

Since the problem shows up in most Samsung nx models, if not all, I think this is the issue - the dial is placed in the same position for all of them, near the shutter, and we are "forced' to rest our indexes on it, as curling it around the dial to reach the shutter would feel awkward.( at least for me it is, try it and you'll see what I mean )

In the meantime, if anybody has found a new fix to the issue, or could comment on the already tried methods I've read on some forums (like kontakt cleaner or rubbing alcohol on the dial )- how did that work out eventually. In the long run, has the problem ever returned?

Thanks
