“do the swivel!”

Capturing photos your way.

Enjoy the independence of snapping perfect self-portraits the first time. Simply swivel the lens to the back to preview your shot in the LCD display to make sure everyone is in the frame, say cheese and snap away. Or swivel the lens to the front and side to take photos from different angles. Be creative!
