Shooting high and low.

Sony offers Live Preview in the eye-level through-the-lens (TTL) electronic viewfinder. Using the viewfinder can give you a more stable shooting platform, with elbows tucked in to reduce camera shake. If you need to hold the camera above or below eye level, you can frame shots in Sony's free-angle 2.0" LCD monitor. It turns and twists through a wide range, so you can hold the R1 up, position it at your waist, lower it to the floor, even point it around corners to get your shot!
