The reason I'm asking is because you may not have balanced out your shutter speed with your aperture. The little red line on the Exposure Compensation/Value bar (meter), where is it sitting? If I'm correct in guessing, and I really hope so, the red line is sitting at -3 on the meter (to the far left), which means you are not sitting at the correct exposure so the screen will be dark. If this is the case, turn the wheel on the top to your left until the red line moves to the middle of the meter/Exposure compensation bar. If that was the problem you should see your screen lighten and depending on the amount of light this might take a few or quite a few turns of the wheel. Let me know if this worked or not.

I can select aperture, shutter speed, etc but they don't matter. I tried taking a picture anyway, and as expected, the picture was only black. In other modes, I can take normal pictures. Is this a firmware issue?Meribaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880770102480160658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-72666001058109988292015-12-02T09:28:43.805-08:002015-12-02T09:28:43.805-08:00Hi sorry about the late reply but didn't get a...Hi sorry about the late reply but didn't get a notification about this. It could be that the lens is jammed but that usually happens when the camera is turned on. It sounds odd but I did have an issue with my camera where I couldn't turn the camera off and had to remove the battery. Just out of curiosity, does the lens move on its own without you touching it?Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655719335965309422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-40598882812746374462015-10-07T04:43:59.743-07:002015-10-07T04:43:59.743-07:00Welcome :-D!Welcome :-D!Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655719335965309422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-79576145787930607292015-10-07T04:23:41.436-07:002015-10-07T04:23:41.436-07:00Oh super...you know, I changed this when I was try...Oh super...you know, I changed this when I was trying to sort the problem myself, but I didn't go back and check if that solved the problem.

But I see that you have used this setting with the same lens. So could you help with possible solutions please? Is it possible I have something set on my camera that conflicts and eliminates this option?<br /><br />CheersDeborah Cuttinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475658502479576797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-53304672216193120412015-09-29T01:07:13.303-07:002015-09-29T01:07:13.303-07:00Hi, what lens are you using?

If you are manual focusing and haven't changed the AF mode to manual, when you press the shutter button it will go back to Auto Focusing. You can change either by going to the Menu Button and under the Camera Menu changing to Manual Focus under AF Mode or press the Fn button and scrolling down to the bottom left side that says AF Mode and change it there. You can also change it by pressing the AF button next to the Ok button on the camera. <br /><br />Use a small aperture of f10-f22 if you want a greater depth of field (front to back in focus).Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655719335965309422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-92169465590982163442015-09-28T13:34:57.974-07:002015-09-28T13:34:57.974-07:00Hi

Without this option you can/will cause damage to your lens while manually focusing with the AF on as this will fight with the camera's ability to focus.Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655719335965309422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-88767645213684222102015-07-18T16:42:10.947-07:002015-07-18T16:42:10.947-07:00Is it bad to Manual Focus when the camera is in Au...Is it bad to Manual Focus when the camera is in Autofocus mode?Louiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732502134927375312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-47606149896568432512015-03-09T10:44:49.872-07:002015-03-09T10:44:49.872-07:00I agree.

I also had issues trying to turn the camera off and had to resort to removing the battery.

I've asked Samsung whether or not the NX300 has an infinity mode, just out of curiosity. <br /><br />I'm taking a guess that you have the kit lens 18-55mm so, set a small aperture (around f22) and Auto Focus on a distant object (if the focus isn't where I want it I touch the screen over the area I want in focus) and move the AF to MF on the lens (but keep the camera in position). <br /><br />Then use the focusing ring at front of the lens fine tune the focus. If you are using a prime lens like the 30mm or 20mm there isn't a AF/MF button and you will need to change to manual focus in the menu. For night time, the moon is a suggested distant object (lol). You can also go straight to manual focus instead of using AF first but AF just makes focusing quicker. Landscape mode under Smart Modo is set to infinity so you could also use that, Auto Focus, switch to manual and fine tune. Infinity changes according to temperature so don't mark Infinity on the lens as this can change. Hope that helps.Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655719335965309422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317939624363658847.post-84681620249798349362014-02-20T00:14:45.620-08:002014-02-20T00:14:45.620-08:00Hi,
