Partial display of functions

Certain function no longer show up on the LCD screen. The Infinity gives blank screen, but Macro shows up. No ISO setting screen. Selectable modes includes Red Eye, Automatic, and Noflash. The camera is over 1 year old. Tried reformatting, changing cards, resetting, etc with no change in problem. It still takes pictures and the zoom works. Any suggestions?

    Tried this. It has no effect on missing functions. The switch works, but the function display for certain functions does not show on screen. eg. Infinity is not displayed, but it functions; the Macro functions and displays macro on the upper switch. The right switch, which pages through the mode settings works, but displays only 3 of the many functions: Red Eye, Auto no flash, and Auto with flash.

    If I display all the settings by double clicking the function set key, I can use this to change all the function settings. It just doesn't let me do this without that extra screen overlay like it did for the first year or so.

Most likely you have activated the Macro function. Usually this function is illustrated by a flower icon. This function is used to shoot from very small distances. Deactivate the macro function.

My Sony A700 works ok in the P,A,S and M modes. However when set in Auto mode the lcd shows Portrait. When in Portrait it shows Portrait. When in Landscape the lcd shows Portrait. When in Macro it shows...

Has it been serviced before? I remember one A200 with a very similar problem. There was a flex cable broken inside - the owner had given it to another technician before me and he managed to brake it. I think it could be a bad connection or some liquid damage. I have worked in a Sony service center and I don't think this is some kind of a factory problem. Anyways, you will have to give it to a camera technician. The camera has to be taken apart to see what's what.

GE Cordless 5.8 screen display is only showing partial info. I changed the battery but the screen did not improve. Does that mean that the phones are defective.

Sorry! But this is indicative of a defective screen. This does not mean the phone will no longer work. This does not in any way affect its functions of making and receiving calls. The screen needs to be changed.

Canon Powershot SD1000: LCD screen display

Hopefully you resolved this already. If not, push the "DISP." button left of the MENU button. Pushing it gives you three options: black (for discreet shooting so your LCD doesn't give garner dirty looks from fellow concert goers), liveview, and liveview with info overlayed (shooting mode, ISO, etc.). Good luck!

Blank screen

Quite possible that the machine is defaulting to external display only. Check your BIOS for this and try any function keys/switches that are available.

LCD Display Blank

I have a sony cybershot DSC-S650, the LCD was very dark and could not see anything except if I pointed it at a bright object, everything else worked ok. I could take pictures but could barely see them in playback as well.

I took it to Sony authorised repair outlet and was told the CCD was damaged, they charged me USD $55 to repair it (in Quito, Ecuador)

Connecting to a lcd projector

You may want to try adjusting the screen resolution and then hitting the function + F8 (or whichever key has the little monitor logo on it). Some resolutions cannot display on certain projectors.

You can find this setting in the Control Panel, Display, then Settings tab.
