9-27mm nx mini lens not focusing

Hello,
I am currently on holiday and have come across a problem with my camera lens, where it just will not focus even if I reset the camera. All that happens is that it shows me the "wavering hand" icon with a red border around it and refuses to take a photo. The weirdest part of this is that it will only take a photo on the "fireworks" setting or the special light one.
Has anyone else come across this problem / does anyone know of a way around it?
All the best,
Sandra

Detach the lens from the body and reattach it again, if that dont work, clean the contacts.

I had this happen while vacationing in Hawaii. The lens is defective if the issue is the same as mine. I trouble shot it down to the sensor that detects the extending of the lens. I think if I recall the lens was seending the wrong focal length to the camera which was incorrectly limiting the focus range.

anyway, mine went in the garbage. 😪
