Don't fret, there's nothing wrong. You just accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This manually turns your screen on and off to save batteries. Press it once more to turn it back on.

SOURCE: Screen is black while taking picture.

Think that you accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This manually turns the LCD display on and off to save batteries. You would then use the optical viewfinder in its place. To turn the screen back on, just press the DISP button one more time.

Sounds like you just accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This turns the screen on and off in photo mode to save batteries (you'd then use the optical viewfinder in its place). Just press the button one more time with the camera turned on.

I have a canon powershot a560 and the screen doesn't work, can you suggest something or am I doomed to buy another camera

When you say doesn't work, can you be more specific? Are you seeing a black screen? If so, have you tried pressing the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera?

When I turn my camera on, the screen is black, i can take the picture and it will show on "review" on the screen.

Think that you might have accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This manually turns the LCD display on and off to save batteries. You would then use the optical viewfinder in its place. To turn the screen back on, just press the DISP button one more time.

Pictures of people

If you see black margins above and below your pictures, you may have the camera set in Widescreen mode. Press the Func/Set button and see what icon is in the lower left corner of the LCD screen. If you see a "W" there, scroll down to it and you will see the other size options available. You should have L, M1, M2, M3, S, and Postcard as other options. Selecting any of these will make your pictures look 'normal' again.
