Sony DSC-W55 7.2 Mega Pixel Camera Review

Although the DSC-W55 doesn't offer any unique features, it is a solid digicam that is a quick performer and displays great colourful and crisp images that can't be grumbled at. A good price for a good entry level digital camera.. .. Read Full Review

Hi...yesterday I got a prob with this camera. Infact, I was taking pictures correctly and so on, and all of a sudden when I switched on the power button, I saw a black screen on the LCD. I'm unable to see anything on the LCD screen when I want to take a picture. But, if I do take a picture, I'm able to view it. So, I'm taking pictures without seeing anything on the LCD screen, but able to view it while using the little arrow icon. Can someone help me???? Thx in advance!!

Hansen you have changed the display settings so that when you are taking pictures, you are not using the LCD screen so as to save battery life. While in camera mode i.e. so you can take pictures, press the DISP button until the LCD screen turns back on. Simple.
