Were you recording video when the front LEDs were off? If so it's working as designed.

You will also notice that these RED LEDs will turn off during the time you take a picture. It is to avoid reflection in the camera when there is low light.

It is also a VERY good reminder that you forgot to start video recording. Red front lights on? Bad ...
