Hi, When the camera is turned on, the LCD diaplay screen is blank (dark) and just displays various information icons for batterly level, megapixels, quality, flash-on, etc. When I try to take pictures, the same is not possible as LCD screen does not display anything. However, it does click and take pictures - which are nothing but black squares.
However, the LCD screen works fine when used in preview mode for the pictures taken before the problem started.
Thanks for your response.

-   When I take pictures the picture shows up black. It will flash and everything, but the picture will not show up of what I'm taking. On the LCD screen the portrait symbols show up as well as the flash, but the LCD screen just shows up black. -   ripgurl9114
