You should note that there is a small rectangular magnet (perhaps 8mm long and 2mm across) that has to be placed at the top of the LCD directly under the flash switch. Otherwise the LCD image will be upside down.
Hello could you show a picture of where exactly under the flash has to be the magnetite tangle. Thanks.
