It is probably flipped because later in the commercial she is carrying it with her right had with the shutter button in the right place and at the end she has her left hand on the focus ring.

There is an ad on tv for some drug called rinvoq. There is a woman sitting in the back of a jeep taking pictures of horses. She has her right hand on the focus/zoom. She has her left hand on the shutter release. Can someone tell me what camera this is or has the video been reversed?

Must be reversed .., unless camera manufacturers are making left and right handed models?? But Hey! how about that sledge hammer

I believe the choice of flipping the image has more to do with layout; the video footage may have been recorded before the exact layout was planned. Then during editing, the choice was made to flip the image so that the text can be displayed on the right side of the screen (and to the right of her face) - rather than on the left, which would have looked a little awkward. As I already mentioned, ad producers are not particularly concerned with accuracy, but with overall visual appearance. And that of course includes layout. The ad isn't trying to sell a camera.

It's like the ncsi and all of these shows where they enhance a pic from a block away from a 1080 p surveillance systems in the dark and you can (supposedly) see the license plate on a car.we uhh know it's a bunch of B S.

Yep! A composition/layout choice.
It's definitely a Nikon body with a battery pack.
Not sure which model...D800, 810 or 850?
The lens is a Nikkor 24-120 with tape over the label/distance scale. I have one of sitting right in front of me.

All the advertiser is interested is the target audience, not every viewer.

Looking at the advert closer (paused), when she is attaching the lens it appears as a normal camera but when taking photos it looks reversed. Also as another noted, the bangles switch hands.

What also bothered me is she is attaching, or changing, a lens in a rather dusty environment.

I saw an episode of the TV show pawn stars and they were talking about a meteor with a newtonian telescope in the background and it was set up backward. The opening that should be facing the sky was facing to the ground. Go figure.

Your 55-300 is HD lens. All new Pentax HD DA series and Limited lenses had a red ring. I had several of them in my previous (Pentax) life.

What, normally smoke comes off the iron when I hold it in my fingers.

Not to mention the smell.

Nikon supposedly released a left handed Nikon in March or April 2019. I do not know if this true or an April Fools Day prank. You can see it here. I do not know what model it is supposed to be.

The April 1st date tells me everything I need to know. I am left- handed, but over the years, I’ve adapted to a lot of right-handed tools.

Yeah! Why the yellow safety glasses? Why touching the soldering iron to the board alone? No feeding the solder or anything else? The motherboard is not secured and sure we do solder when the board is not secured but we do something to keep it from moving.

Not that you would use a big old soldering iron like that if you were repairing that board anyway! Looks like an iron they got a Radio Shack.
