I can't compose on the screen as it's black. This happened to me all the sudden. Could it be that I changed some setting that caused this?

Other screen functions look to behave normally (review, live view).

Any help will be appreciated,

Had the same issue and came across this post, but found the solution from Canon's Forum that ScottyP that mentioned this solution. I thought it would be helpful here for future reference to anyone that might come across this again. If resetting doesn't fix the problem, then try checking your rubber "eyecap".  It's what happened to me!

2.) Also make sure that the rubber "eyecup" padding has not slid up 1/4 inch and covered the "display off sensor" that turns the display off when you put your face up to the camera. If that rubber eye pad (or your thumb or anything else) is covering the sensor, then the display would turn off thinking you have the camera up to your face. -ScottyP
