Guys, this problem has been discussed many times. The problem is there
is too much loose play in the tray that holds the screen. Probably
during shipment the camera got banged around and the screens shifted.
Sometimes it's as simple as banging the side of the camera body with the
heel of your hand. It may take a few minutes but once it's in place it
should stay there.
One word of caution! If your fingernail touches the screen deduct $35.
from your checking account. It is very soft.
