Make sure your LCD is clean and doesn't have the protective plastic on it.

Tap the screen to see if the menu appears. If it does, you may just have the screen locked. Try swiping down and there is an icon you can tap to unlock the screen.

Press the mode/power button and the shutter to access the settings on the front LCD (to ensure that the camera can get into the menu settings). They need to be pressed together. If it just changed the mode (video, camera, multi,..) you're not in settings. Go through your settings and then choose exit.

On your computer, download and install the manual update.
