I will quite often use the camera in this mode, especially when reading
labels on equipment.
The other time is when I want to read labels on the back of a piece of
equipment and can't pull it out and trurn it around.
I have found it a good skill to learn.
It beats the heck out of sighted friends who have to go through all
kinds of contortions to view and read labels while things are in a rack.
<grin>
=46inally there are times where it just isn't possible to get the camera
over what you want to read in the normal way.

Subject: The Up-side-down Camera
Some listers might not know about this obscure feature of the Optacon.
Anyone who ever changed the camera for one of the special lenses
probably knows that the camera can be put back two different ways. One
of the ways causes the print to read up-side-down. What you may not have
realized was that this is deliberate. If you have the camera in the
up-side-down position and turn over a can so that the print is also
up-side-down visually, sometimes it's easier to read because you can
reach it better.
This feature is not necessarily all that helpful but it's fun to
experiment.
NOTE: If anyone has never separated the camera before, don't do it
without either reading the owner's manual or asking for instructions.
There are a couple of tiny pins that you wouldn't want to accidentally
break.
