Canon SL2 (200D) Viewfinder Photos Come up Blank

[carlcan]

Whenever I take a photo using the viewfinder instead of the LCD preview, the photos always show up blank and I can never see them. 

Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere or what could the issue be?

Thanks!

Format card in camera and shift to Green Square Auto. Does it work then?

I'll try that tonight once I backup the memory card.

Reset the camera. But see if you have mirror lock-up on.

Where do I check for the mirror lockup? I went through all of the settings and couldn't find it.

Just to clarify, photos taken using the LCD screen show up no problem. It's just when i switch and try to use the viewfinder where the photos come through blank.

It is custom function 6. In MLU, you have to hit the shutter button twice to take a picture.

And in live view the mirror is already locked up.

I tried all the above and none of it worked.
