PowerShot A590 LCD screen not working right

Junkqueen1 — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 17:42:29 GMT

When aiming at my subject, the screen does not show the subject, it shows a black screen. It may show the subject for a quick moment, but then returns to the black screen. The icons i am seeing around the perimeter of the screen are: ISO, a large letter L and it flashes off so fast, I cannot read what the other icons are. Also, after I take a picture, the screen flips and shows all kinds of numbers/data. Can someone tell me what is going on with my camera?

Are the pictures properly exposed?

Try to reset the camera to its defaults:

Thank you, I think I happened upon that solution. I think I'm good, for now at least. Thank you for the instructions, I'm saving it for future reference.

Camera was good for a few days however, I'm again trying to reset to default & when I press "OK" to proceed with resetting to default, the progress bar says "busy" and there is no movement along the progress bar. Also, when I take a picture, on a few occasions, the camera goes crazy, shuffling the image over and over. Is it time to replace may camera? I hope not!
