ABSTRACT:
A camera includes a viewfinder for composing a scene to be recorded and means for determining the camera's orientation relative to at least one axis. The camera further includes visual or audio means, cooperating with the determining means, for indicating the camera's orientation relative to the at least one axis to a camera operator such that the camera operator can hold the camera away from the camera operator's eye, thereby not using the viewfinder to compose a scene, while still ascertaining the orientation of the camera relative to the at least one axis.
