A viewi ng module is releasably connected to the pivotable member to extend rearwardly along t he side of the camera and has a CRT facing rearwardly with an eyepiece for viewing the CRT. The viewing module has controls for the CRT on an outwardly facing surface f or manually adjusting the controls.
