It could be a firmware problem; a chip could have crapped out on the logic board, or a trace could be cracked. Who knows? Even if you send it to K-M they'll say something like "replaced main board". Did you buy the camera new? I.e., was it under the K-M warranty for the first year? If so, depending on how you bought it, you may have extra protection. I know that the American Express card doubles manufacturer's warranty up to a year, so in the second year, you pay for the repair and then AmEx reimburses the expense (which may be its own headache; you'd want to check with them before trying to invoke this). I think some Visa/Mastercards also work the same way. Just a thought.
