I just got a MG380G which had a weird power problem.
If I'm plugged into a USB battery I can turn the camera on and back off. But then I can't turn the camera back on again unless I unplug the USB battery first. Then when I plug the battery back in I can turn it off.
Weird thing is that it's not sufficient to just unplug the battery from the USB cable and then back in. That won't correct the issue. I actually have to pull the cable from the USB port of the camera before I can turn it back on.
Is this normal or did I get a lemon?
This problem does not exist with the 12v cigarette adapter cable. Turns off and on just fine when power is supplied by that.
