A flip screen is exactly what it sounds like, it’s a screen on the back of the camera that can rotate, tilt and pivot into a multitude of angles so you can see your composition wherever the camera is.Īfter years of working with SLR’s with ‘just’ optical viewfinders, the move over to cameras with live view and screens on the back was amazing – suddenly this little black box didn’t need to be stuck to my face to take a picture. Over the past few years, Canon have been adding a feature to many of their cameras that has revolutionised the way I work and that thing is a Flip screen. I often get asked to recommend Canon cameras with a flip screen, and many people ask me about the benefits it offers to photography and videography – so I thought I’d put together an article. (If any Canon reps are reading this looking for a new brand ambassador… Hello there…) I love the brand, I love the way their cameras handle and in a time when a lot of photographers are moving over to Sony cameras, I’m still very happy with my Canons. I’m a massive Canon camera fan – my very first Film SLR was a Canon (A 300V if I remember correctly), my first DSLR was a Canon 300D (Some 15 years ago!) and the camera that I still use daily in my wedding photography is a Canon.
