the electronic viewfinder is locked in the upright position and won't fold down

Mine moves freely 90 degrees and I can find no way to lock it - so it sounds like there is a problem. Have you tried contacting Sony customer service - they have been helpful when I have called with questions/problems.

Try unscrewing the adjustment entirely...the should be a rubber seal inside in addition to a little plastic ring. See if either of those are mangled and messing with the adjustment.

Hello, The LCD screen on the back of the camera is not adjustable in the way the diopter for the view finder works. the only adjustment for the LCD is the brightness level. Thank you Mason Roset OC Camera 949-347-1276

Theres a button underneath if that doesnt work make sure to check the batteries and as to the storage it folds together

The camera doesn't tilt but mounting it with wedged spacers would have the same effect.

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

It's locked in place. Twist the green ring until it snaps out of the lock position, then it should move up and down for you :)

Unless the design has changed, there are two small screws behind the folded probe when it is closed. Remove those two small screws to access.

I can't see any reason that it wouldn't work. Will not allow electronic viewfinder.

There is a picture of it folding up when not in use (but still on vehicle).

I just checked it for you. It does not snap into any position. It stops where you want it to stop.

Turn it upside down and unscrew bottom. If it already has batteries in it, it is best to hold it at about a 45°angle and twist off. Make sure you only fill to marked circle inside otherwise the battery compartment won't twist back in.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

Push down on the end of the carabiner, towards the handle. Tilt the carabiner forward and it will fold into the closed position. Hope this helps! Alan Briley, RN

I hope you have figured it out by now but if not try pushing the top of the tripod legs down as far as they will go then lock them in place.

There is a button with lightning sign and word "Open" below it. You can find that on the ledt side of the viewfinder.

I'm having this problem with a DPF D80.It's a big problem because it was bought as a gift for elderly relatives, I took it out of the box to load it with some photos, and I MUST now get it back in the box. But it won't go as the stand won't close.
