Step 4—Frame the Picture

4.1 Adjust the lens angle

The lens section can be rotated 130° forward from its housing in the camera body, and 90° back toward the monitor. To frame a quick arms-length self- portrait, rotate the lens to point in the same direction as the monitor (in this position, the monitor will show a mirror image of what will appear in the final photograph).

Forward	Back (toward monitor)
	0°
50°	50°
	90°
130°	Range of rotation
	Shooting position

When the lens is obscured by the camera body, a warning will be dis- played in the monitor and pictures can not be taken. To clear the mes- sage from the monitor, rotate the lens section to shooting position.
