Caution:

• Do not invert the image by rotating the monitor during recording.

Notes:

• The screen image is automatically inverted when the vertical rotation of the monitor is between

135° and 180°. When the monitor is rotated back to within 135°, the image returns to normal.

• If the F indicator flashes when the monitor is in the inverted position, this indicates a warning. To check the type of warning, rotate the monitor back to within 135°. (See pages 7 and 8 for descriptions of the warning indicators.)
