Is the veiwfinder on instead?

On the back of your cmera bottom right that larger dial has a DISP. symbol on the bottom. Try pressing that several times to see if it toggles the shooting veiw from Veiwfinder to LCD to both.

I'm having trouble with my image viewer as it comes up with a graph next to the photos how do I fix this, also I'm training to be an iridologist and would like to take a good photo of the eye, I don't seem to be able to get a clear photo can anyone help please. Thanks.

When I bring up my images on the camera there is 2 graphs almong side the photos and I can't get rid of it, what have I done wrong, it's a SX60 HS, also I'm trading to do iridology and can't get a good eye shot, has anyone got a good suggestion on what setting would work best for this, I get background reflection from the persons eye, thanks.

The info button toggles what data is shown.

The only way to get rid of reflections is to get rid of reflections. You need to do it in a dark room and set up the lights so that the reflections are out of the frame. You might be able to just set up a dark sheet behind you.

Unless you are trying to prove it wrong, I wouldn't waste my time on iridology.

Thanks so much - I figured I needed to go camera shopping just before we leave for a trip.

Really appreciate the post to solve my problem! The display button - won't forget that in the future!

Hi John, I had the SX50 HS,and although I hadn't mastered it, I think I acheived better results with it, better than I do with the SX60HS.

I, wish I had stuck to the 50 but was seduced by the extra zoom.

I have to say the 50 was a bit small in my hands, as I was inadvertantly pressing buttons and that was a big factor in my decicion to 'upgrade'

The 60 feels more comfortable for me,although the problem now is not accidently pressing buttons, but finding them without actually looking, as they are recessed and hard to find by touch.

I think both of these cameras have too many 'Bells and Whistles'

Persevere with your SX50 HS, it's a great alrounder.

Yes I like my SX50 so much I bought a second one, a Canon refurbished and half of what I paid for the new one for my daughter. The mode dial on the back is where I find myself accidentally pushing it but all in all it is a great camera. I was tempted when the SX60 came out but decided to hold off for the SX100... I figure 4 more years tops lol

Hi,
I have a canon sx50 with a lcd screen that is not working. The viewfinder is working properly and when I hit the button DSP the lcd screen somewhat gets black grayish collor, but does not go anywhere beyond that.
The warranty is over and the technicians of my city are not reliable.
Could someone please spread some light on this?
Thanks.

What is the best way to custom the display screen. There are two options for the lcd screen. I have ticked the boxes I want. I don’t want the black screen when I toggle. How do I stop it.

I inadvertently had the camera setting on long shutter, have taken loads of photos but they are all blank. Is there any way of retrieving these?

I've tried this several times with no results. Is there another setting that could interfere with this operation?

Please help! I can turn my camera on, it makes a beep, and green light shows occasionally, but I have nothing but a blank lcd screen. I've tried pressing the display button several times, and it beeps, but nothing shows up on the screen. What's the next step?
