NX2000 I Function button not working

Newbie to photography, my husband surprised me with this awesome camera a couple weeks ago for my birthday.

I have read several reviews and the manual, many people rave about the Ifunction button.  I got the camera kit with the 20-50mm lens, and it has the Ifunction button.  I follow the directions as in the manual, but when I push it... nothing happens.  It does not let me select options to manipulate and the screen does not look like it shows in the manual.

I made sure it is on an expert mode, I checked the settings and it is set up to display options with Ifunction... I asked Samsung and of course they only told me to reset the camera and send it in.  I have no idea what I am doing wrong, or if it is broken.  Any trick or anything I am not considering?

Thanks!!

Samsung NX2000

Put the lens off the camera and mount it again 2-3 times. Make one ortwo photos in the Expert-A mode. Press the iFn button. If nothing happens - the lens may be defect and should be replaced.

I am having same problem too. That being said I couldn't get the camera connected to the computer to upgrade the firmware. According to the instructions "Connect the camera to the computer and it will be picked up instantly". I was playing around with it and suddenly it got picked up.

Bottom line: The instructions are not particularly good. I am sure the i-function is working fine. I'll spend a little time with it this week and play with it some more. I'll take notes and let you know if I get success.

Thanks, you were right.  I returned the camera and purchased a new one and all is well with ifunction now!

Mine is having to go back too. I tried a new 20mm lens with i-Function and the i-function worked on the first press of the button.

I would have been happy with a lens replacement, but Amazon are only offering a refund and nothing else.
