Disable live view in the menu. Or press the "set" button one time and it will switch screen off and enable the viewfinder.

Press the review button in the bottom left until the screen goes off.

If you don't want to review the shot afterwards turn it off in the menu.

If you don't want the "options" screen on while you are shooting, then shoot in a mode other than "CA"

I've turned it off in the menu - If I need/want to look at the image/histogram i just have to press the button on the back - saves a load of battery!
