Hi Folks, i have a panasonic camcorder with 20X optical zoom latched onto a 300-800. sigma lens.really good pictures,but images are upside down.anyone with any idea why this occurs.

Hi Kelvin,

The reason that the image is upside down is because that is how the image is projected through the lens onto the camera's sensor. Just look through the lens without anything attached to it to see what I mean. Unfortunately I cannot suggest a remedy to your problem unless you can fit some kind of erecting prism between the lens and camcorder. It may sound silly, but is it possible to mount the camcorder upside down?

Rotate the camera upside down, I guess that the image will be ok then.
