Turn Off Screen On Canon A1200

Lost my manual and the only information I can find on line says to push the "display" button to turn off the screen display.  Doesn't work for me.  How do I turn off the display so that I can save battery and use viewfinder?

Hi, it doesn't appear that you can manually turn the display off. However, you can set up the power-saving features to turn the display off when not in use, after various intervals ranging from 10 seconds to 3 minutes. You can find the information on how to set this function on page 176 of the user manual.
