How Do I Display On The Lcd Of A Canon Eos Rebel Xsi Dslr Camera What I’m Shooting In Auto Mode?

It shows the standard battery life and shots remaining, but I have to look thru the viewfinder to see what I want to shoot. In the instruction manual it shows me being able to view the subject in the LCD screen- just don’t know how to do so.

    You can’t. You need to use either the P, TV, AV or M modes. The P is basically like auto.
    Now as Jim said you shouldn’t be using live view for normal picture taking. This is a sure recipe for blurry photos. You can’t hold several pounds of camera at arms length without camera shake. Live view should only be used when the camera is mounted on a tripod or when you simply can’t get your eye to the viewfinder.

    It’s called “live view” and it’s a gimmick. Any serious photographer, not just a “snap” shooter, will always use the view finder – it has the most accurate information because you see exactly what the camera will see.
