I can connect my Nikon Coolpix S7000 to a TV with HDMI and view photos in playback mode, but as soon as the cable is connected the camera seems to stay in playback and won't switch to shooting mode. Is there any way to display the camera's live view in real time on an external monitor or TV over HDMI?

How can I switch to "shooting" mode to have the real-time image on my TV?
According to the manual, you can't.
The manual for the S7000 gives no indication that live view mode is supported over HDMI, and in fact the troubleshooting section lists Cannot switch to shooting mode as a potential problem, with the solution: Disconnect the HDMI cable or USB cable.
Contrast that with the manual for the D7000, which explains that connecting a HDMI cable will disable the on-camera screen and show the view through the lens on the connected display.
Having looked at the manuals for the S7000 and D7000, it seems pretty clear that if the S7000 supported live view over HDMI, the manual would tell you as much. The fact that it doesn't is a clear indication that the feature is not supported on the S7000.

No. Based on the camera manual and user reports, the Nikon Coolpix S7000 does not support live shooting view over HDMI.
When an HDMI cable is connected, the S7000 is intended for playback output only. The manual’s troubleshooting guidance indicates that if you cannot switch to shooting mode, you should disconnect the HDMI or USB cable. That strongly suggests live-view output is not available on this model.
Some cameras do support real-time HDMI output, but if the S7000 did, the manual would normally describe how to use it. Since it does not, there is no setting or mode change that will enable live monitoring over HDMI on the S7000.
