Recording Images
• Any images recorded while the lens body is rotated so the lens is
pointed from the back of the camera are stored as mirror images of
the image that appears in the LCD before the shutter button is
pressed.
Important!
• Do not apply excessive force when rotating the lens body. Doing so
can cause serious damage to the lens.
• Do not carry the camera or move it around while holding onto only
the lens body.
• Return the lens body to its normal position (with the lens pointing
from the front of the camera) before storing the camera.
