When wanting to take pics the view finder is black or dark grey. Cannot see subject or surroundings thru view finder. Have changed to new batteries and no difference. Thanks for you help. Jacque

If this is the only image that you get on display even in the view picture mode..it means that the display is faulty ..and need to be changed or at least to check the connection ribbon ...but if in any other mode it works it is a setting or firmware issue ...
try to get into main settings and reset it to the factory settings ..this way you will get rid of any odd settings that might cause this behavior...If after enabling the factory default settings ..and putting it in the normal mode it is still not working ..but the display works with other functions ..you will have to reinstall the firmware for it ..
In this case the lens are the fault...if you can operate the camera in any way but only hen you want to take a picture it do not dis play the image ..it means that the communication between the board and the lens is out ..It may be an issue of needing a new ribbon ..or the one it has is damaged or out from the plug ..(in second case can be opened and placed back ...in the first case opened and replaced..)
