Very strange update. I left the camera plugged into to constant power overnight. Camera was off. When I woke up and turned it on, it turned on completely, as if there was never an issue. I trouble shot, turning it on and off, removing the plug in power, trying with the batteries. No matter what I do, the camera is working fine now. Its very confusing.
It's great that its working correctly now, but I'm afraid this issue could manifest again.
