Nx300 Firmware update not possible

When I switch my camera off it keeps turning off and on. I know there is a firmware update, but I can't connect my camera to the computer because it keeps turning on and off. Is there a tip or some help I can get for this bug?

Samsung NX300

Here ya go - go to this site...

The following site was created for Samsung firmware updates. Just select your camera and download the latest update to your computer. Then put it on your SD card and do the firmware update.

Let's face it, reality dictates that with the millions of computers worldwide, not every unit will be in tip-top shape form with regards to system files, USB issues, etc.  That's why some folks will not be able to update their cameras (regardless of brand) via USB.  As a result, it's nice to be able to just download the firmware update and then install manually. Good luck...

Try setting the proper date and time.  Sounds silly, but it worked on my NX300.  Never had a problem with the NX100 I have.  Now I'm looking to pickup the NX500.  Really like these Samsung cameras for their output quality.  The NX500 ought to hold me until Samsung fires up its camera production line again.  Ha-ha, wishful thinking!
