Lens
The swivel lens mechanism lets you easily aim at the angle you want, without changing the position of the camera body.
Changing the Lens Angle
•Whenever you swivel the lens so it is pointing in the direc- tion of the back of the camera, the image on the monitor screen is automatically adjusted so it shows a mirror image of what it picked up by the lens. This makes
A 
B
A .... Image displayed
when recording
B.... Display of recorded image
IMPORTANT!
•Do not use undue force when rotating the lens mecha- nism and never try to force it past the point where rota- tion stops naturally. Rough handling can cause the lens mechanism to break and other damage to the camera.
•The proper orientation of the lens when you store the camera in its case depends on your camera model.

•Never set the camera down while the lens is pointed downwards. Doing so can cause bending or other damage to the area around the lens.
•Always leave the lens cap on the lens except when you are actually recording images.
