I have a EOS Rebel xt. The lcd monitor stays black until I take a picture, then the picture flashes across. I have to use the eyecup to take pictures. I can also view stored pictures.

What's the problem? That's the way the camera is supposed to operate. The Live View feature, which lets you use the LCD for framing your picture, wasn't introduced until a later model.

SOURCE: I just bought a new Canon EOS Rebel XS and can't

Go into the menus and find live view, activate it. Exit menus and then press the set button. You will now be able to use the LCD. The owners's manual can give you more info as to how to focus.

No picture on LCD monitor when camera (rebel xt) is turned on

I am not sure what is the problem. You say no"picture"..is the screen totally black? Even when you try to preview photos in your camera memory? If so there is a problem with the hardware, LCD screen battery, or some other part.

If you mean you only see numbers and photo setting information on the LCD, that is normal for this Rebel models. The picture only appears in the viewfinder. It does not have a "live view' function to switch the image from the viewfinder to the LCD while you are shooting, as later model have. I have such a model and it is very disappointing.

Hi,

It might be that it accidently change the display time of the picture or turned it off. There is a setting that you can change to display pictures. Check if that might be the problem.

I cannot use the lcd to take pics how do i use it

Canon EOS Rebel XT / 350D does not offer Liveview shooting option which newer cameras offer. It does not have contrast based auto focus system like the ones you see on point and shoot cameras either. LCD is used to review pictures taken or navigate through the menu system. Besides, LCD on the back of the camera is so small and lack the details anyway. You are better off using the small viewfinder it offers.

Odd black shadowy line across pictures.

Make sure your Camera Strap or Lens Cover is no laying across your lens.

Lcd monitor

On a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) like your Rebel, the shutter remains closed until you actually take a picture. The camera cannot display an image on the LCD since there is no way to preview one that has not been captured.
