G5 LCD display works but doesn’t show photo image

[fwrightson]

I can not figure out how to make my Powershot G5 show either the viewfinder image or the photo just Aiken image. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Good question. While I have a USB card reader, it reads everything except the large FlashCards...howerver, I just.ordered a FlashCard reader, which will be here Tuesday...then I can answer your question. Since the flashcard is only 128 MB, I also ordered a 32 GB flashcard (I'm probably spending more than the camera is worth).

Below I have posted screenshots of the images. The FlashCard has three images so the camera thinks it is taking a photo but it looks as if no image is recorded (all black) when the shutter snaps. Entirely possible i guess.

Make sure the lens cap is not covering the lens.  If you capture "black" images outdoors on a sunny day, then you may have a camera or a lens problem.
