p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Help - samsung NX2000 & FD lenses


Hi, I am wondering if someone can help me figure this out. I have just bought a Samsung NX2000 for my wife and at the same time, I also bought an adapter for my old FD lenses for it (NX mount to FD mount). However, when I mounted the adapter and lens to the body, it won't allow me to shoot due to "no lens attached" error.

I have looked at the manual and can't seem to find the info on how to enable this (or if this is even possible). Appreciate very much your help and info.

Is the camera set to manual focus? I'm just guessing, as I have no experience with NX.

You should post this question on the Alt forum, where a lot more NXers will see it.

Thanks... I have tried different shooting modes - aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, even full auto ... Will cross post in the alt forum. Hopefully, someone can help me

(by the way, the camera is not a NEX, which is a Sony 4/3... it is a Samsung NX series camera)

I meant set the camera focus mode to manual, instead of autofocus.

Page 82 of the NX2000 manual says,

"When your lens has no AF/MF switch, select an AF mode from the camera menu."

Page 84 describes some functions that are disabled when you select manual focus mode.
