Intermittent problems are some of the toughest to make sense of. If it doesn't happen so often as to be obnoxious, I would consider living with it. Otherwise, it needs a camera technician to check it out. Larry

Im presuming that live view in the setup menu is switched to on. Does the screen option button below the delete button work? i hardly ever use live view so the batteries last longer. does the review button work so you can see the photos you have taken?
Could it be down to the batteries? i use rechargeables or duracell, I find other batteries don't last as long.
Decent batteries are a must, and switch the live view off to extend battery life. Also I found that reviewing the photos all the time really reduces battery life, so try not to do it, Use a card reader to transfer your photos to your pc, if you use your camera to transfer them this drains the battery.
As the cost of using a kodak technician is around £65 - £85 plus parts your better off living with the problem or buying a new camera. Live view aint all that anyway, just get a bigger memory card and take lots more pictures, this will assure you get a really good one of the subject. Sorry couldn't be more help,
Wishing you happy new year
Regards
vince
