Title: nikon d800
Post by: david distefano on August 18, 2013, 10:58:57 am

is it possible to have live view reversed so it matches a view camera? i have looked in the manual and see nothing on the subject.

Probably not on the LCD, but plug in an external display, turn it upside down, and have an upsidedown image at the size of about 7x5 or larger.

I'd love to have reversed view in the EVFs of my current cameras. A fine idea! That's one of the things I like best about using my Rolleiflex...makes you see different.

You don't need electronics for this.

Have your assistants, (or interns if your cheap) hold you upside down by your ankles.

That works and it's kind of a good head rush also.

I doubt the lovely young lady who not only prepares my food but also handfeeds it to me has the required strength. But I'll give it a shot. Or, better yet, buy her a Boy Toy & let him do the grunt work!

Really right stuff makes a bracket that will let you rotate the camera so the preview on your LCd is reversed both laterally and attitude. You think I'm joking? http://reallyrightstuff.com/Items.aspx?code=CRDPkg&key=cat

Give them enough money and they will build a photographer sized one but you'll need shoes that are Arca-Swiss dovetail clamp compatible.
