I think it is because the camera has a sensor. The screen turns off so as not to distract you or let light from the screen bother you while taking a shot. You can check this in the manual.

Set the shooting mode to a Creative Zone mode. Press MENU to enter the menu. Under the Setup tab, select [Live View function settings] then press SET. Select [Live View shoot] and press SET. Select [Enable] and press SET. Press MENU to exit the menu. Press SET. The image should now appear on the LCD instead of through the viewfinder.

Refer to "Live View Shooting," Chapter 5 in the manual for more details and the limitations of the LiveView mode.

My canon rebel is not compatible with windows 8 and now it only show up gray in the lcd and black on downloading

I want to use LED screen to take some pics, instead of always using viewfinder, can i do this with my canon rebel XSI EOS? If so, how do I set it?

This is called "live view". Check your owner's manual to see if your camera has it.

Brand new canon slr camera. can't see a live pic on led

Canon 350D can only take picture it does not take video. On screen of course you can play the photos you have taken. But that is all.

My new eos rebel xsi won't let me set it on portrait; instead it sets on landscape for both portrait and landscape

To take a picture in portrait mode, you just have to turn the camera 90 degrees. When you view the pics, the camera will automatically make the picture upright for viewing but it will still be a portrait.

Lcd monitor will not turn on

Hello,

I can help with this, but first I need to know what model your camera is. Canon doesn't make an XST - Is your camera the Canon Digital Rebel XSi? Do you have your user manual?
