What the thread found

• The Epic camera contains a vertical flip function accessible through settings in the monitor menu
• When the Epic lacks an in-camera flip option, operators can physically mount the camera upside down and flip the image during post-production
• Some camera operators found manual image flipping in camera settings preferable to post-production flipping to keep client monitors displaying correct orientation
• The Alexa camera does not have a built-in image flip setting

Depends on

• Discussion occurred in 2012 and firmware updates may have changed capabilities since then
• One participant initially confused the Epic with the RED MX regarding flip functionality
• One claim about finding the vertical flip function contradicts earlier statements that no such function existed
• Whether the vertical flip function works specifically in low-mode shooting was not explicitly confirmed
