sorry for my late reply
@nac,yesterday was christmas so service centre was closed ,
digimax was oem but mine has a huge name 'samsung' carved on it so samsung guies wud mostly handle it. I wud be going 2day again to the service centre.
@sujoy , u r rite , i think this is mostly coz of dust.

got it fixed frm samsung techs:smile:
the Surgeons replaced the aperature and shutter unit(this one)

interesting to note that the f/8.4 aperture was a combination of a another aperture and a ND filter(may be to avoid diffraction?)

and basic f/2.8

Good that you got your cam fixed.

And good to know that this is how aperture unit looks like. :)
