When looking at pics on my camera cannon power shot s31s it is showing graph and other info want to get back to whole screen pic?

First press the DISP or DISPLAY button to see if that corrects the problem. If not, a stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, sometimes with lines, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.

Press the DISP button to cycle through the different views of your picture.

not usually, it is caused by under eposure make sure you have the settings of the ISO to a level that is complimetary to daylight

set it to 100 and to say scene and take a few pics. Donload them on to the PC and with the software look at the graph that accompanies each pic to see what is happening with th light factor. You can drag areas of the graph and the pic will alter on screen.
Perhapsa the shutter is not opening.. look in the lens and press the button to see if the shutter actuall opens and shuts

ccd was on its way out at first , now failed

Please see similar problem titled "black screen". Welsbar posted a possible solution as a clarification request. It involves switching your picture mode to TV and changing the shutter speed to 15 seconds, depressing the shutter button for 7 seconds, then opening battery enclosure. Repeat as necessary - I did this twice before I started to see anything on the screen. Twice more before photos start to look okay. Don't know yet if this is a lasting solution, but at least now I can start using the camera again and find out!

According to Welsbar, the problem is an internal part (iris?) that gets stuck when camera hasn't been used frequently.

Press up or down on the 4-way command button to toggle between histogram, shooting info, custom settings, highlights, or none.
