A funny EX1 issue...
Today I took my EX1 out with a tripod and filmed myself under a stop sign. I had the LCD open and facing forward so I could see myself. Oh the vanity of it all...
Anyway I don't usually spend any time in front of the camera so the LCD is almost never turned for subject viewing. The funny part is this... After setting the shot, I flipped the LCD monitor forward to make sure I was in frame. The camera flipped the image in the LCD so I was right side up but darned if everything wasn't backwards... My STOP sign read a backwards POTS with backwards letters which I can not type. Ok, truth be told maybe it was just the P and S that were backwards. So hard to tell with those pesky T and O's with their smug looking the same forwards and back look at me and guess attitude. Has anyone else seen this? Is this just a setting I am overlooking. Clearly this is not an issue that will affect shooting ever, I just really think this tiny oversight, mine or Sony's is pretty darn funny.

LOL...
Now only if it would of flipped upside down, instead of side-to-side! Would of been great for most 35mm adapters. LOL All joking aside... what the... |
I have the same on my old Digital8 domestic camera: when the LCD screen is turned forward, you have a sort of a mirror. It is good to have a shave, or for your girlfriend to put some make-up on.
Apart from the jokes, I don't know if there's a technical reason to make this that way. Probably they think that it is easier for someone who is standing in front of a camera to act like if he was in front of a mirror, and I have to agree with that idea. |
Just Curious
If anyone has a Z1U handy... I would be very interested in knowing if the effect is the same with that camera. Same I guess for the Z7U.
