A brand new R6 MK2 arrived this morning. I charged the battery to 100%, green light, formatted the v90 SD card, and updated the firmware to 1.6. All good! The first sign of trouble was attempting to change the time zone after entering date and time - the screen went black. After turning the camera back on, the select a language page was presented, then the page to enter a password. Set! Next came a re-enter password page where entering one number caused the screen to go black. Turn off/turn on, rinse and repeat!!!

The B&H video chat person saw all of this in action, so it's on its way back. Days from now, I should receive a replacement.

Has anyone seen or heard of something like this before?
