Is there a way on this camera to use the monitor rather than the
viewfinder when taking pictures? I just got this camera and am
already unhappy with it.

Researched but evidently not well enough. I've checked since and
still can't find info on it.

Since he seems to be having difficulty understanding the camera I
assumed that he wasn't able to read the manual.
