LCD attachment on the Canon 6D Mark II

In particular, the LCD is hinged on the side and can be flipped out for odd-angle shots in both portrait and landscape orientation. Also, this fully articulated, swivel type of LCD attachment is often appreciated by videographers for its flexibility. Moreover, v-loggers like the design because the screen can be turned to be front-facing.
In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Canon 6D Mark II measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,040,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.
