while shooting to day I couldn't see my image on my rear screen. Everything else with the screen is working properly except when i want to take a new image.I have tried different lens, different modes. I even turned the camera off and have disconnected the lens and the adp. nothing. I can see all of my settings and can make changes via the screen.
Any ideas? I tried calling Canon, but they are closed on the weekend.
thanks.

Look for the “info” or “display” button.
You may be in a Q-menu and not properly exiting from it.
Just to get through the weekend try switching to one of the “C” modes.

I assume the viewfinder was working at that time?
when you raise your eye to the camera, the evf turns on and the rear screen turns off. Many times when you go to change the focus point or in some other way get you hand or even a finger near the evf, it will swap views on you. I suspect that a camera strap would do it as well, but I never use a strap.

yes I was using the viewfinder; have done so for a long time. However today no matter if i used the Q buttom or the menu button everything was fine. the viewfinder was not blocked in anyway.
some how user id told me what to do and bingo it was fixed. I marvel at the fact that he/she knew to push the info button.

I think that there is an EVF setting where the LCD does not show what the camera sees, I pretty sure that is the way that I shoot because I prefer the viewfinder to the LCD display I am pretty sure that is an energy saving setting.

I was wrong, I got out of my lazy chair and turned the camera on, I guess that I don't use it enough to have learned it better, I generally shoot birds with a 5DSR.
