EOS RP Screen turns off

[CanonGrl214]

Hi — I recently just purchased the canon EOS RP camera and I am wondering why in the middle of lining up a shot does the screen just randomly turn off/go black. It'll turn back in after a few seconds but then does the same thing (go black) a short while later. Is this normal?

I wonder if you're accidentally tripping the viewfinder sensor?  See page 32 in the User Manual for its location (just to the right of the eyepiece).
