The irony is that in the darker zone seems that there's less noise.

One might almost imply that there's an area of reduced sensitivity within the sensor, but I know just enough about sensors to recognise that as a very unlikely situation

It'd be interesting to see the results from another camera of the same model. I wouldn't expect the fault to be in the same place, but there might be an indication of a wider-spread issue.

Hopefully someone else with an NX300 will read this and make a hi-ISO 30sec exposure with the lens cap on for comparison.

Good luck.
