Place a magnet on the hinge.

Hardly a riddle, you stick a magnet on the LCD, that latches the gravity switch up so the LCD thinks it's inverted.

Except you still have a challenge I think, the image is right side up but mirrored, could make panning a problem.
Simpler answer, buy a monitor that does the flip right or you can add another lens to the EVF.

Bob & Serena:
Your warm, but it's a lot simpler than that.

John said hold the camera upside down and I nearly responded by saying you two were upside-down already but you screen still hadn't flipped.

Ah, the old northerner joke! Simpler than putting a magnet on the hinge is NOT putting a magnet on the hinge!

You are over my head here. Is that the north as in Lancastershire or as in Darwin?

Anyway I see you are buzzing with anticipation so lets get this over with. It is as Bob said that the image is revered, but you can see a flipped image quite simply. Turn on camera and open the LCD, rotate it and then putt it back into its docking position with the picture facing up. Now just ease the LCD back out about a centimeter.

Actually I think Serena beat me by a few milliseconds. She gets the set of Cooke S4s.

I don't think the image being upside down is such a big deal anyway, it means it ends up on our retina right side up. So our brains can adjust very well, some of us can even adapt to driving on the wrong side of the road and water going down the plug hole the wrong way.

I suspect leaving it inverted would be easier to cope with than having it right side up but mirrored.

Bob.

Guess my reply was confused by not separating two ideas:
1) the English (in particular) are always amused to think of us as hanging upside down from the bottom of the earth. In fact we're the right way up and they're hanging on by their toes but, out of consideration for their feelings, we seldom point that out.

2) NOT doing anything must be simpler than doing something, but I wasn't claiming that it produced the desired result!

Thanks for putting me straight. While Australia is "at the bottom" from England, from here it is China and many Americans don't understand references to Australia being "down under" or the like. I have never been lucky enough to be in Australia but I shut my eyes and imagine that if I was there it sure would feel like being on the top. One of the advantages of living on a sphere; always being on top.

I agree a flipped image is NBD. Also as those 35mm lenses stick out such a long way you often need walk to the otherside of the camera to focus, in which case you can look at the LCD backwards.

out of consideration for their feelings, (the English) we seldom point that out.

Out of consideration for their feelings, we seldom point out the fact that most white Austrialians originated from England after they got transported for mis-behaving. :~)

Do you guys Down There really eat shrimp on the barbie?

>>>we seldom point out the fact that most white Australians originated from England after they got transported for mis-behaving<<<

That deserves a response, purely for historical accuracy. And we always enjoy setting the Poms straight. Finding a convict ancestor is relatively rare and regarded as a "feather in the cap" link to the original arrivals. Of course England continued to unload her majesty's guests until about 1850 (so a convict link isn't necessarily to those first-fleeters), but the majority of settlers were free (trying to escape England and see a bit of sun). Many of the English army officers stationed here saw greater opportunities for making money in agriculture and rum running, and it was a great place for the English aristocracy to send 2nd and 3rd sons to make their own way to fortune. Once gold was discovered people flocked in from all over the world. After WWII many Europeans migrated here. Nevertheless, 44% of Australians (1999 census) still own up to English ethnic links. Of course if you add in the strong genes of the Scots and Irish the figure rises above 50%, but they're not Poms and not covered in the original assertion!

I've been checking in here about every couple of hours since yesterday just waiting for Serena's response. God, she is so thankful: I was expecting so much more venom on poor old Ryedale and friends. Better keep your head down Ryedale for a while else you'll be on the barby!

Even so, to risk my own neck, I've never seen the justification for the level of ill feeling the Aussies have for the Poms. I remember such rejection when asking a Sheila for a date years back in London, and of the Aussie guys who worked with me for a time calling all the limeys wombats. Maybe it's that "tall grass" thing?

As a proud American, many of us have "unsavory" history in our local American family trees. Slave holders, horse thieves, etc.

I wouldn't go there.

And many apologies, if any of my ancestors may have been unsavory.

Edited:
And one of my favorite "minimal thinking" movies was Shrimp On The Barbie. So there!

ill feeling? Never!

Actually it's a friendly rivalry, generated by the English always thinking they ought (by right or breeding or the natural order of things) to be superior to their former colonials (which includes, of course, the USA). I will observe that the Brits do tend to a lot of "nose in the air", which may have been the cause of the wombat thing. Generally we call them Poms (because it upsets them) and in any case real wombats are nice enough creatures. So beating the Poms at everything is a favourite past-time, but only because it annoys them that the natural order of things isn't as it ought to be.
Certainly from our end of the pitch (see: cricket reference) the Aussie-Brit relationship is very "family", even if Churchill did decide in WWII that the Japs could have Australia. That ended a lot of people thinking of England as "home" and we turned appreciatively to the USA.

Shrimps on the barbie? Well, it must be so -- it said so on TV!

edit: had to take advice on the spelling of "barbie"! Incidentally, I suspect your "tall grass" is a reference to "tall poppies", which refers to some ancient person chopping the heads of poppies that stood higher than the flock. Don't see how that could affect our attitude to Poms.

Well my response to Serena was to dangle more bait with the expectation of stirring a strong reaction (hence the :~) ) . I suppose I should have known better. She is just too polite. Obviously got some English blood in her :~)

Two corrections: First, when I said Serena was "thankful" I meant "tackful", and by "Tall Grass" I did of course mean "Tall Poppy" and my relevance was that the "Tall Poppies" were the same as Serena "nose in the air".

I wish I agreed with Serena about the friendly family rivalry but my experience is that Aussies really do seem to very much dislike the Poms. I find it a strange comparison how the Aussies still have that "broken free" spirit while the Americans have almost apologised for 1776 and now just love their new found monarchy loving Bush family.
