Re: NX500 "Check the Lens" Problem

Hello everyone, I am new here, and I know now it's 2021. I also got similar problem with my NX500, I have search answer on google but still not solved, so I decide to reply here, hope I can get some tips (so sad I can't send it back to Samsung camera cs for repairment now )

I got my NX500 before it it was discontinue. I have many samsung AF lens(16mm/20mm/30mm/45mm/16-55mm/12-24mm/50-200mm)and I also adapt many MF lens to it (like M42 mount/Nikon ais mount/Leica L39 mount/Pentax PK mount/DKL mount etc.)

Recently I regret to buy a new C-NX adapter to try C mount cine lens on nx500, It turn out to be lack of infinity,and the side effecet is I got this problem.

When I put the above mentioned samsung AF lens on my NX500, it can't show the aperture (just showing "F--") , and only MF focusing is available. and then I have to keep the power on, turn lens down, it shows" lens detached", and then put it back to the body it shows"lens attached", now the AF lens work perfectly.  I can still use my camera but the problem is pretty annoying cause I have to do this detach and attach each time I turn off the camera or wake up from sleeping mode.

I am sure that the pins on the body is clean, and all my af lenses are working ,but I can't still get any clue on the problem, wish I have some luck on this post.

Best Rgds.
