Hi there.

Live View only works in Creative Zones (P, TV, AV, and M). The easiest mode is P.

Once you've enabled Live View Shooting via the second yellow "hammer & wrench" menu, all you need to do is hit the "set" button from the main shooting screen.

This is page 96 from the manual:

How are trying to activate Live View. You need to press the "Set" button on the back of the camera to allow the Live View display to come on. In order to AF you must use the "*" button for AF to work. Half pressing the shutter button won't do anything.
