Display only works with custom modes

ravengal — Thu, 10 May 2018 22:45:07 GMT

My camera display and view work just fine in C1, C2 modes. When I adjust the dial to anything else, everything goes black including the menu and function keys.

Also, when I turn to Auto mode I can hear 3 extremely faint knocks (just once). I need to hold it up against my ear to hear them.

Any ideas?

what model camera is it? Meanwhile you can try resetting to defaults thru the settings menu just in case some setting is messing you up.

Sorry about that. I have the sx40 hs. It turned out to be the DISP button I got my answer after digging further through all of the posts. I am so glad I found this site!
