Hi!
I just opened my brand new camera sx740 and the indicator light is blinking rapidly.
Is this normal?

Hello estied,
The indicator on the back of the camera lights up or blinks depending on the camera status and also displays in different colors as well. A blinking green would indicate that the camera is recording movies to the memory
card, reading movies from the card, or transmitting via Wi-Fi. A blinking orange means there is a USB charging error.
