Swivel screen -- can you view it while you shoot yourself? I take it for granted that you can, but no pictures of the product literature indicate that you can hold the camera at arm's length from you to take a video of yourself and have the screen rotated so you can view the live composition.It would be helpful if someone can confirm this ability.

Yes you can. I have the camera & you can swivel the monitor screen front or back. I've not tried to 'shoot myself' but I use the swivel feature when the camera is behind me so I can look back at it to make sure the shot is centered where I want it.

That's actually a software question rather than a camera/hardware feature. I don't use the software included with the camera but just using the standard Windows Photo Gallery it is easy to rotate the picture to any orientation you like and it is automatically saved in that orientation for future viewing.

Yes, you can flip the screen so you can see yourself while you're in front of the lens. You can also put it on "timer" so you don't have to be holding the camera when you take the picture. Better than a cell phone for selfies.

I have honestly not been able to set the screen myself....I honestly use the grip for the convenience of changing battery packs quickly without having to take off my DSLR video rig. Sorry that I cannot provide any helpful advice.

As far as I remember, there's a mode you can take a picture with a short video. Anyway you can play the video you take and print screen to get the image you need later. Yep, you can enable digital zoom in video mode.

In the effects section, you can flip the video horizontally and vertically, plus you can rotate the video +180 degrees, +90 degrees, and -90 degrees. After you hit the rotation or flip button you go to "Settings" and move the video to any degree you choose with the red slide button. It works quite well. I hope this answers your question. Paul G.

I asked that same question, but how would you be able to see without an eye piece also, unless of course you had it on a tripod and already knew what you would be filming. I know it takes up the battery, but I highly recommend getting a heavy duty battery. I love the picture quality!

You can watch it on the monitor as you move the object around. However, I don't know if it records video and I don't have it with me to check but I don't think so. But as you fiddle with the object, you can see it real time and capture the images you want. Hope this helps.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way to rig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking from the rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If you bracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it's not hi-tech but the method works.

Yes or No - The device has two cameras that swivel. One camera is wide angle and the other is standard. You can turn either camera to the rear, or side if you desire. It is a great product and I am very satisfied.

Yes, you can. Of course there is a limit to the swivel, but placing the camera correctly, you ought not to have a problem in pointing it to a specific area.

Sorry, this was sent out to a client site and I never really checked on the functionality. However you can adjust the screen angle from what I remember. When you ask if it can swivel, you want to put long ways? If that's the case, then I don't believe it did. If it's an option we use arm mounts on the desk to have multiple monitors or wall mounts that are capable of doing that.

There is a menu option to rotate the screen. I use it as a backup display for a license plate mounted cam. Default setting is same as looking out he review camera only much better and wider view.

I believe you can. One reason I liked this camera was because it had so many options. You can find the manual online and check out specs. It is a great little camera but does not have wide screen. I also do not like that the view finder is on top. It makes it hard to see what you are filming if you have on high tripod. I recently bought the new zoom Q. 4 and was impressed with the sound and camera lens. The wide angle made it nice to get whole stage. I have some video examples of both on you tube I can send link.

Depends on what you mean by 'front'. As you hold it up with the screen facing you, the camera points in the same direction as you're looking. So you have to turn it around to take a selfie. And then you can't see the screen.

SOLOSHOT will only pan. Tilt function is not available. Maybe one day they will incorporate that feature. I've had mine for almost a yr now and musta done 30 video edits already. Here's the latest one.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxhWe7XozMI&feature;=share&list;=UULhyIKBLFiXMBcrCDK63ZGw

Hi JY, the live view remote is a handier replacement for your phone. It is more useful in situations that you need to shoot with your hands free. Thanks_Mitch
