Screen Black but Camera Still Shoots-Help!

One day my Cannon Rebel T3i was working great! The next day, the screen went black yet the camera still took pictures that I was able to download. I am unable to replay pics or view which setting I am in on the screen. The menu or info buttons are not working either. I have tried several troubleshooting ideas from the display button, removing and recharging the battery, replacing the SD card, to pushing the info button several times to reset the screen yet nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!!!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I have read that trying to push the rubber eyepiece protector down firmly as I read that if it is up slightly, it can cause the screen to go black. No luck for me!

Hello, I had this problem last night, visited this forum, but to no avail. However…. I did discover a fix….

I was using an intervalometer and it was inserted into the camera a little to far. When I removed it everything worked as normal. I reinserted the intervalometer, with a bit more prudence, and it has been working perfectly ever since.

I encountered the same issue on my Canon eos 1500d

the display was off.

it turns only when we switch it to Video mode(but was not able to record in video mode)

Camera flash automatically pops up tooks photos.

Solution :

  • I have removed the Card from camera and formated ( this is not needed by the way)
  • charged the battery to full
  • dont remove the cameras lens cap
  • put the camera to manual mode
  • Take a photo
  • then after 1 or 2 second click on any button ( delete/preview..etc )

this turned my display on and there is no issue till now.

if this doesnt works in the first try

tey again next day
