Why does my screen go black when I try to take a picture? This just started happening but I have been able to take pictures before. Also when the screen goes black, the pictures do not save.

Sounds like possibly it could be connection related between any AV/Cable ports. Worst case would be the capacitors of the motherboard leaking. It's possible to fix anything. Just make sure you have the knowledge and the right equipment.
Black screen after clicking a picture means aperture motor not working or lens flexible circuit damaged, it has to be checked by expert technician & is replaceable part.
canon has a recall on this camera. call them and they will send you a box to send it back. If you are one of the lucky ones the will send you a canon s5is back...really nice camera
I've had the same problem for a while now too. The camera has been useless and Im looking to replace it. Im sure this problem hasnt got a simple fix and im better off buying a new camera! Id like to here if someone managed to get it fixed thou ?
if this is under warranty still, i would take it to a service center or rma it to panasonic.. if it is not under warranty, you can try the following.
1) try a different video source and verify the problem is happening on all video sources and modes.
2.a) if the problem is not happening in all modes, remove and replace the cable that is causing the issue. if this doesn't remedy the problem, the controller for that particular input is going out
2.b) if the problem is happening in all modes, you can open the case and carefully disconnect and clean (de-oxit or rid-ox) the hirose style connectors on the back of the display panel.
3) disconnect and clean all ribbon cables around the display panel
this sounds like either the connectors are not performing adequately or are loose, the top ribbon is acting up for some reason, or the graphic controller is going out.
Have you checked your video source to ensure that this isn't a problem with your PC or whatever you're displaying on it? Try using a different display and see what happens. Try putting this LCD on a different PC and see what happens. If indeed it is this screen then it could be something as simple as a loose cable. Start simple and work from there.
The flash light test only works with lcd monitor as they have back lights.
Double check the connections again, also, if you can borrow a monitor try it on your pc, it may be your graphics driver needs to be uninstalled and re-installed, but you will need a monitor to see.
