The Monitor

below, allowing the monitor to be angled for high- and low-angle photography or
rotated to face the user for self-portraits (0 45).
❚❚Shooting Position

the camera body by opening it outward and
rotating it 180° left before folding it back onto the
camera body. This position is recommended for
most shooting and playback.
❚❚Storage Position
To protect the monitor when the camera is not in
use, fold it back onto the camera body as shown at
