where on a cannon is the button? (not the camera)

It’s the INFO button on Canon cameras, not the camera button. Pressing it cycles the screen display and can bring you back to the photo view; on some models you can also customize which screens appear in the rotation.

Where it is

On many Canon models, the INFO button is on the back of the camera near the screen and other navigation controls, but its exact position depends on the model. If you’re stuck on a weird display, tapping INFO a few times is the usual fix.

What it does

• Cycles through display layouts like shooting info, histogram, level, and cleaner screen views.

• Lets you turn certain info screens on or off in the menu on some models.

• Is commonly mistaken for a hidden or “mystery” button because people press it accidentally and the screen changes.

If you meant a different “button”

If you meant a specific Canon model, the exact location can vary a lot, especially between Rebel, R, and PowerShot lines. The quickest clue is usually the label INFO printed on the back of the body.

On Canon cameras, the button most people are looking for in this situation is INFO, not a separate “camera” button.

TL;DR: Look for the INFO button on the back of the Canon camera; it changes the screen display and can get you back to the view you want.
