checked on youtube as well but couldn't find any tutorial...

Re: How to rotate the screen for self-portraits...
You have to pull the screen away from the body before tilting it all the way over.Regards Paul.
One day I hope to be the person my dogs think I am.

It doesn't sound like it rotates but tilts up once it has been tilted from the top out from the body & then it should be able to tilt all the way up (with no EVF attached).Originally posted by jamaljan View Postwell, I tried it and the screen is not really good for self-portraits.

Pull the top of the screen away from the body, pull the bottom upwards (away from the body) and continue the movement until the screen and the frame it is attached to are vertical with the screen facing the same way as the lens.Comment

30 seconds into this video:

The bit I missed earlier was when the screen is just below horizontal, there is still a short part of the framework still recessed, this is hinged and will flip the screen up to almost vertical if you pull it out.Comment

Re: How to rotate the screen for self-portraits...
Someone somewhere is going to start complaining about the connectivity; although possible to do swivel and rotate, give some thought to how the signal(s) are passed between body and screen. How many actuation do you think Olympus designed for? Probably <10000, but not 10x that number. Just an opinion, that's all.Comment
