Switching from the viewfinder to the back screen.

[crystalbear51]

I've used the back screen for all my shots and depend on it 90%. I cannot see the same shot when using the viewfinder. Somehow I switched from the screen to the viewfinder and I need to switch it back. I didn't go into the menu to change anything. How do i switch from the viewfinder to the back screen.

Perhaps articulating your issue will help you find a solution?

You can switch from DVF (Digital) to OVF (Optical) and back in still photo mode but not in Video mode on Canon EOS 7D ?

2 things I remember with cameras with a similar problem that has helped, first perform a reset to defaults through the settings menu and second make sure the eyecup on the viewfinder has not shifted up, blocking the light and is seated all the way down.
