Sorry I hit the wrong button. Anyway I just got my Sg550 over the weekend, put batteries in, unlocked my card and placed it the cam. Plugged the remote in with power turned off and got a blue LCD screen on the remote. But when I turn the power on to the cam it beeps 3x (at least I think it's trying to beep 3x - it's like the 2nd and 3rd are connected) Anyway there is a real quick blip of some wording on the screen and than it goes back to the blank blue screen and I can't do anything with it. I bought the camera through busybeeoutdoors - So Joe if you are out there - please help. Thanks. The camera looks great and I think I'm absolutely going to love it. I can't get over how small it is.
