Try replacing batteries (high Ah photographic type).
The lens motor & electronics may be draining power if Ah capacity has dropped too low. At night, it could be that your flash is trying to fire (another drain), or shutter timer / mirror staying open longer.
Cracked lens on Samsung Pro 815
As it would mean the replacement of the entire lens assembly, even if repair is possible it would not be financially viable.
Camera has a black screen when turned on
In some cases there are only oxidized battery contacts, to treat with a little bit sillicon grease on the battery contacts gives a long lasting protect against. moist., otherwise there could bad soldering but in practice i have never on camera,s have problems with it BUT another suggestion are the little motors to operate the diaphragm and zoom mechanic can be the problem if its hanging and if one of the motors is hanging there could be a miss timing and then the electronical protection turns it off off. was my first Samsung experience with a camcorder of the brand 23 years ago there could be a dirty mode select switch or little microswitch on it, but in most cases the batteries.
Pictures at night have blotchy circles on
