sx280hs dark screen while vertical

When I try the camera verticaly the screen goes black (vertical in any direction one rotates it). When horizontal, it is fine. It will take a vertical picture but I have no way of seeing what the image is since the screen is dark. How to troubleshoot this? Thanks.

Any chance you're wearing sunglasses while shooting? Polarized glasses will do this.
