Each time the problem scenario was the same: The camera was set to Auto mode. The camera was turned on, and several minutes had elapsed between frames. When I lifted the camera to my eye, in place of the shutter speed display at the bottom of the frame, I saw a blinking "6C". The shutter button was locked and the camera could not be fired. I cycled the on/off switch, and when the electronics rebooted the condition had cleared, and the camera would operate properly. This is obviously an electronics problem, and the "6C" is likely a hexadecimal error code that would by known to the technicians. I'll be sending it back, obviously, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else had seen this glitch. I do understand that there are teething problems with new systems, and as an early adopter I accept that I'm at greater risk of encountering them. I will admit to a little disappointment, though, that the very system that adds the new functionality to this camera is the one that is showing problems.
