Re: Samsung nx3000 lens error

Hi there,

I have this exact same issue as you in 2022. Did you ever find a solution?

I think I know the reason why. My camera has been in storage for over 3 years with the battery inside. I charged it up last week and the camera was working fine (although a bit slow). I decided to get a 50 - 200mm lens, like yourself, which worked for a little while but is now displaying a whole host of issues such as Lens error 00(on all lenses), sd card not recognized and it wont connect to my pc anymore etc.

After lots of research I believe these issues are caused by the battery. Because the batteries are so old their strength (voltage) decreases over time, more so when left without regular recharges in storage. When using again after prolonged time it begins to make the camera malfunction as the voltage is no longer strong enough to make some system features work. The battery was likely still powerful enough to make the standard lens work when you first turned it one, but not powerful enough to make the larger lens work longterm. I believe that this excess strain from the larger lens on an already old and struggling battery has caused it to proceed past the point of no return and the voltage to dip further.

I have two new batteries on the way and will let you know if it solves the problem.
