Angling the Monitor
The monitor can be angled and rotated.
- Normal use:
The monitor is normally used in storage position with the screen facing outward.
- Low-angle shots:
Tilt the monitor up to take shots with the camera held low.
- High-angle shots:
Tilt the monitor down to take shots with the camera held high.
- Rotate the monitor gently within the limits of its hinges. Using excessive force could damage the camera or monitor.
- We recommend returning the monitor to the storage position with the screen facing inward to keep it free of dust and scratches when not in use.
- Do not lift or carry the camera by the monitor. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera.
