Instant image on screen after taking a picture: Is this how it is when you bring it home also??

You can decide if you want to see the image or not. Someone in the store must have set it that way. It is nice to be able to turn it off if you know you are trying to save your battery, or are more concerned with taking a lot of pictures together and don't need to look at them until later. The feature is easy to turn off or on.

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

I have had the same problem. We just travelled abroad for a big family get-together, and took pictures of the some memorable moments at the occaision. I would have "playback" all the pictures multiple times. One fine day I tried to see what was in the camera, after I came back to the US...guess what..No Pictures. As Adrienne mentioned..It drove me crazy too. I have not had an occaision to lose them again yet..Anybody have any ideas of recovering them....Is it the camera or the SD card..Any Ideas...The card I am using is the SD Ultra II card..2gb..bought at Costco. Any familiarities here.... I have had the same problem. We just travelled abroad for a big family get-together, and took pictures of the some memorable moments at the occaision.

when I take a picture in some settings the camera takes longer to process the information the screen turns black for 10 sec to be able to take the next picture.

That's normal. It's the same sensor, but the sensor is in different modes for preview and capture. It'll get the best photo it can, regardless of what the preview shows.

Taking the picture is quick, but I have noticed that it does take a minute for the picture to process after you take the picture. I personally like taking single pictures however there is a function to take continuous pictures so you don't miss the shot! :)

Try setting the Power Saver/Light Sensor to "Off" to energize your picture.

i have noted a constant 'clicking' which seemed to be related to moving the camera around. (much) closer inspection showed it to be the aperture opening and closing as the camera's lens is moved from dark to light areas. i believe that this is done in order to assure that the preview image in the viewfinder isn't over- or under-exposed. if you watch as the camera clicks, you will see an accompanying change in the light level in the lcd screen.

I actually sent mine back however I did toy around with it, and it seems that whatever is on your computer will project on the screen so if you pause the photo ON your computer, it will be mirrored on the screen.

I'm not sure this will work. In my case, after taking a shot the image stays on for a few seconds, meaning that I can't shoot quickly on the next shot. At first, I assumed I had a slow SDHC, so I bought the fastest card I could find. After inserting it, no difference in the camera performance. By accident, however, after taking one shot I tapped the shoot button lightly, and voila, I was good to go with the next shot. Give it a shot. When you get the dark screen, try tapping the shoot button.

Same thing is happening to me. Was taking pictures one minute, next minute, went to black screen. No abuse to camera. This stinks. Will try reinstalling software. Take care.Janice

There is a setting for that. I no longer use that camera, but I remember that you can disable that. Check in all settings, maybe some setting about clock.

yes I just back clicked - stop preview - and the camera image went away on the internet view

No, only when you want to focus, then that is normal. The there is a delay before the next shot but one can skip that if you want. Best camera we've had, great close-up shots.

Actually having the same problem so I don't know. I have not gotten around to reloading from scratch. I just loaded pics from a flash drive and turn the device on and off manually. Works fine that way.

First check your monitor, you might have accidently hit a zoom on your display. If that's not the case try disconnecting power to camera for 15 sec. then power back up. The only other thing it could be is a defective camera, it does happen. Good luck

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!
