Got it VERY cheap, upper wheel did not work. Can get by that. But now sometimes, it shows -3 or 1.4 or stuck at 1/400 using A or P or S. Mostly it is ok. Been spraying and blowing the upper wheel gently. But this must be something else? Any cure for it? - Can get a new one but would try to fix it anyway.

My NX30's wheel is somewhat erratic, often when changing shutter speeds and f stops, will only increase them, can't reduce. Or for zoom-in on the screen. Spraying does help, temporarily. Guess it must be an inherent design weakness since its a new condition body, underused by previous owner.

Work-around solution, I enabled touch screen. Now I hardly need the wheel, I always press Fn and scroll the relevant function by touch. Blow up, the same way.

Thanks! Touchscreen of course!  Never used, but works fine. Nice when Fn is not working... Before that I almost  always got ok light in images, even if shutter and aperture was a bit unstable! Strange. Underused - got NX20 never used, very slow reaction to everything. Still  not exactly action camera, but everything ok if you press twice. Now mostly avoid cameras not used for years. And check all my cameras now and then.
