I've had that happen to me too. Try pushing the screen display button and it should work again. (It's the 1st button under the mode dial).

Nikon coolpix s3300, no screen to take pics but screen works fine to view and use the menu

The only possible thing I can find, is the brightness of the screen. Perhaps it is adjusted to complete dark.
You also could try to press the button with the little camera on it. When you have a USB cable connected to the camera, the screen will be blank too. On my Powershot from Canon, there is a display button, when pressing it I can cycle between normal screen, Grid on the screen and screen off. I can't find anything similar in the manual of the 3300, but perhaps there is a function like that on your camera too?

Got a black screen and cant take any pics. Can review pics but cant take them

Is the battery low? It takes more power to take images than to review them.

Or perhaps you have disabled the screen. Try the 'Disp' button.

M753 camera when taking pics and reviewing them they are purple/pink with dark horizontal lines however older pics appear fine

Find out if the miscolouring is only appearing on the LCD or also on the pics. Is the fault in all the SCN or only when taking pics in AUTO.

M753 camera when taking pics and reviewing them they are purple/pink with dark horizontal lines however older pics appear fine

Hi!
It's a loose connection between the CCD and motherboard - a very common problem with these cameras. Unless you have experience in camera repairs, you should give it to a local repair shop - don't let them say you it's a motherboard problem or something like that, it's 99% just a loose connection. I have repaired hundreds of these. I work in a Kodak service center.

Black screen for Shooting Canon S3 IS

I have a similar problem with my Canon S3 IS. Dark/black LCD in Shooting mode. However, I can view my existing photos in Display mode. I was about to spend money to get a Panasonic TZ5. Somehow I bumped into a solution post for S2 IS. Here is the link:

I tried their solutions twice and it WORKS. My S3 is working fine now.

Pictur

I have had a similar problem. Pictureres look like they are taken through a Venetial blind with white horizontal bands though I did get one with dark banding. It appears to have something to do with light levels. I took a few pics in a dark area with no flash and now it is working again...until it quits working again. Perhaps it is something to do with light level calibration? Whatever it is the problem is internal. If you are still under warranty, I highly recommend taking your camera in for repairs/replacement. Ours started acting up just after the warranty expired so no love for us.

Pics appear on camera screen but not on card

If you can review the photos on the card while it is still in the camera (and by review, I mean go back and forth between multiple photos on the card), then there are two possibilities: 1. The photos really are on the card, and your computer can't read the card. 2. The photos really AREN'T on the card, and are perhaps in internal memory on the camera instead. Some thoughts for things to try: 1. Put the card in the camera, take a few photos, make sure you can review them all on the camera. Take the card out. NOW try reviewing photos on the camera with NO card in. What happens? 2. Try putting the card in your card reader in your computer. Copy a file (any file, a word document, anything) from your hard drive onto the card. Is it there? Can you copy the file back off the card to somewhere else? It sounds like the camera is fine, and the problem is with the card or the media reader.
