When you want direct confirmation of camera settings or the view through the lens.
Using the Swivel
z
The unique swivel design of the camera allows you to position the lens toward the subject while having the Monitor in a
convenient position for checking.
With the Monitor facing toward you, the lens section can be tilted 210° forwards and 90° backward. There is a
Swivel
lock lever
on the base of the camera which, when set, prevents the lens from tilting down if a heavy converter lens
accessory is fitted.
z
Note that bright objects such as lights may cause a vertical white line to appear in the Monitor. This is not a malfunction
and does not normally appear on the image.
Self-portrait pictures
For convenient framing of self portraits, when the lens is rotated to face backwards, the display will invert so that it appears the
correct way up.
