Hi -- I have a new Canon Power Shot G1X Mark III. I pulled it out of the box today and charged the battery. The batter is fully charged and there is a memory card inserted in the camera. When I press the on/off switch the green light comes on and the lens automatically pulls out of the body of the camera. In other words, the battery appears to be working. But ... nothing else works. There is nothing in the view finder and nothing on the touch screen. Pressing the shutter button does nothing. Pressing the menu button does nothing. The only button that makes anything happen is the on/off button. Any thoughts on what's going on and how to make this work?

Is this a new cam? If used how old is it?
