Is there any way to turn the LCD on prior to shooting a photo?

I have a HP Point and Shoot Digital also and it nice to be able to hold the camera overhead a take a picture watching the display instead of looking through the lense (on occassion)

Got my *ist D a week ago...It's great going digital SLR (switching from a Z-LX)

Just trying out the functions on the camera and I can't get the Manual White Balance to work.

I followed the instructions carefully but nothing displays on the LCD when I hit the shutter release.

All other modes including AWB work fine.

Anybody have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks!

SMC FA 28 2.8
SMC FA 50 1.4
SMC FA 100 2.8 MACRO
SMC FA 135 2.8

I like them in that order....
All provide great quality sharp and fast results.

I also own a few zooms but none I would recommend for sharpness, quality, speed etc.

Samyang 18-28KA (Ok, but not AF and just ok images)

SMC FA 28-80 3.5 (Not particularly sharp and heavy but good (just good) for indoor shooting, I miss my SMC FA28-70 4.0 ASP (broke it)

Tamron 28-200AF AS LD IF (Good for outdoors, not for in)
Sigma 100-300 AF (Wouldn't recommend)
SMC FA 70-200 4-5.6 (Don't like it at all, if I could get rid of it I would)
