Default Invert the LCD of Sony handycam

hi

Anyone knows how to invert the LCD of the Sony Handycam ?
I managed to get 35mm lens on the handycam. Things looks really nice
but the LCD needs to be inverted or else , its really difficult to use
the camera...

Best if there is a DIY approach or else pay someone who knows how
to do it right .....
thks

there is a fix for FX1/Z1. U need a magnet near the playback buttons on the cam for the VCR mode. That part is exposed when u open the LCD.

using a magnet that is too powerful will somehow cause some strange high pitched buzzing coming out of the LCD screen on my Z1.

I am using a DIY adaptor made from extention tubes and some simple holder
My camera is Sony handycam TRV27E
its pretty old , miniDV camera , maybe 4 yr old model



I am pretty sure there is some buttons that can flip the LCD around since
when you face the camera, the LCD is inverted.
so some how, getting to flip that switch first would be the answer

thanks
