When I turn the power on the LCD screen does not show anything, but still lights up at my touch.

The image displayed on the screen of my camera doesn’t look right.
If the LCD screen on your camera is showing lines and/or a distorted image this could be a failing CCD image sensor and it will need to be replaced.
The words “moisture condensation error” are present when I look through the viewfinder
If this error appears it means there is some moisture within the camera. To solve this problem let the camera dry while turned off for no less than one hour. This can be caused by abrupt temperature changes, so to prevent this from happening you can place the camera in a sealed plastic bag before going from a cold place to warm place.
