Dave_Hicks Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Better flip your camera over so the pictures come out right side up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen is supposed to be flippable: https://www.retra-uwt.com/products/retra-flash-pro-max?srsltid=AfmBOooOSX45hVriyk1kCezfA8lVTTvdBWtdCbm7l-Tu0dXEQsKtQ9Bd it says: "You can also flip the LED screen on the Retra Flash Pro Max by 180°, allowing you to use it in any orientation." I assume it should be in the manual, otherwise contact Oscar by PM, he's generally very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffer Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Yes guys thank you very much i had just discovered this while playing with the strobe ,turn all the way to the U setting and back and it flipped .normally only used in manual. As Tim said now feeling stupid but this is the idea of Waterpixel to help us stupid old folk.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 🤣 I’m delighted to not feel alone in the Old and Stupid club. They are great strobes though so our decision-making powers remain top notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oskar - Retra UWT Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Hi, sorry for the delayed response, I usually follow what is posted in the strobes and lighting forum. By moving the mode dial to position SOS/TURN the screen will flip or rotate or turn 180deg. The strobe will remember this position even when you switch off and exchange batteries so you don't need to select the orientation each time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffer Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 Thank you Osker I found out by accident and then watched a Retra video by Alex Mustard and he turned the dial and it flipped .many thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
