My istD will sometimes show a blank picture if using the pop up flash. Even when using fresh batteries, i can take a photo and the icon shows empty. If i turn off then on,its fine again. The blank screen is sporatic.However based on the number of complaints i have heard, assumped this to be something the camera juist does. Maybe mine needs to be looked at aswell. Side note. Camera works fine with Sigma 500 Super in Green mode.
