Hi there,
I'm not TOO familiar with this camera, but I think I can help.
I asked about Auto mode since I was thinking that the focusing feature of the LCD would not work if you had it set to Manual focus. But I realized that this camera doesn't offer Manual focus, so ignore that part.
Because it sounds like you are doing everything right, I am wondering if your camera doesn't have a problem- the fact that you're seeing a black screen when you push the shutter halfway doesn't sound right to me, and I can't imagine anything you'd be doing wrong that would cause that. Let me ask you this, does it take a photo when you push halfway and the screen goes black? Because if so, it might be that you're pushing more than halfway and the camera is actually firing.
What you do (just to make sure we're on the same page) is set the camera to any Still mode (except Landscape, where this does not work) and press the OK button. This turns on the LCD. Then push down halfway on the button. Framing marks should appear on the photo shown in the LCD, which will show you what subject the camera is choosing to focus on. If it isn't the one you want, let up on the button and try changing your position, then try again- keep repeating until the camera has framed the object you want in focus. Then push the button the rest of the way.
The user's manual doesn't mention the green light, although I have heard that a green light appears during this Auto framing process. But maybe it is just a "ready" light. First let me know if you can get the framing to appear as I described above.
As far as the convenience of the LCD, personally I don't use the focus framing in my camera, I just push the button once and have it done with. I just like the LCD because it makes it easier on the eyes to see what you are going to photograph. That might be part of why you hear about large LCDs, etc. all the time.
Let me know if the steps above clarify this at all or if you're still having issues and I will check into this further.
