The LCD screen is a monitor that allows you to view pictures you have taken. If your screen has black spots or blurred areas, visible scratches or crack lines, or there is a lack of touch sensitivity, this could mean your screen is defective or broken.

No special skills required to perform this repair. Make sure to power off the camera and remove it from the charger before beginning.
