First Steps: Taking Your First Photograph
Step 5—Ready the camera
The COOLPIX 900’s color LCD monitor is joined to the lens by a rotating
hinge, allowing the user to hold the camera at almost any angle while
making photographs. When framing photographs in the monitor, the
camera can be held as shown below.

Note: When the lens is rotated to point at the user, the monitor will show
a mirror image of the view through the lens and camera settings will be
hidden. Photographs taken in this mode will not however be reversed.

Note: Be sure that the lens and flash window are not obstructed by your
fingers, hair, the camera strap, power cord, or video cable.
