NX5 - Shutter closed & would not open?

This morning I took my NX5 with it's 18-55mm lens into the garden to photograph an unusual moth, but when I came to try and make an exposure I found the shutter blinds were closed and would not open!

The viewfinder and rear screen were "alive", in as much as I could read and operate the menus, but exposure simply would not happen

I performed a "Reset", removed and re-fitted the lens, tried another lens (on an adaptor), replaced the battery and generally fiddled about with no positive result, then it started working again, perfectly correctly, for no apparent reason!

Any ideas as to what might have caused this anomaly will be gratefully received I'm guessing my clumsy great hands may have inadvertently pressed a combination of buttons on the back of the camera as I was trying to position it, using Live-view, slightly overhead and at arms length.
