EVF flips up 90 degrees?

[Chris Light]

According to Digital Photography Magazine, it does... http://www.dpmag.com/cameras/slrs/slr-vs-ev.html?start=4

but mine doesn't. They mentioned it on an earlier page in that article as well. Am i missing something?

I can't think of a way it doesn't...

I can't think of a way. it doesn't...

i added the period to your post to make two sentences...i hope that's what you meant.:happy:

If yours doesn't, then you might have a fault with the hinging or something!?

dude...i'm sitting here like a moron, trying to push up on the thing...nothing...i don't want to break it. i hope you're not screwing with me.

i opened the flash, and i don't see anywhere for it to go...it's not doable. is it just a PAL thing? or a "first production" thing?....i have a newer model. mine looks awfully fixed with no allowable movement.

Your not crazy, the GH1 evf does not tilt. I think they got confused with the little EVF attachments for the GF1 and the Olympus cameras.

They probably mean the screen on the back of the camera.

Hunter Richards is correct.

....they got confused with the little EVF attachments for the GF1 and the Olympus cameras.

I'm afraid this is another example of a continuing disturbing trend where websites post writings that are full of inaccuracies, simply because the writers are not full conversant with what it is they are discussing. And there is no one available to fact check.

It's a bit like cable TV. You've got to find content, any content because you have to fill a means of distribution. So just throw it up while a subject is popular, and get a "hit" on Google.
