Hi, my SD600 powers on, but the LCD screen is black in picture taking mode. It works fine in playback mode though. What do I do?

The LCD screen is black in picture taking mode and every time I take a picture it shows up black. The movie mode won't work either. It shows up black. In playback mode, however, I can see all my old pictures fine.

No, the camera is in display mode and when it takes pictures the pictures are completely black--hitting DISP didn't fix it. I think there's a problem with the lens and I might have to take it to Best Buy and see if the Canon will fix it for free.

Kenny, did you ever get this fixed? I realize it's an old question but am wondering if you didn't have a bad image sensor. Let us know if you're still in need of help. If all else fails, a camera reset (press and hold Menu for five seconds) may have solved the problem.
