Ok I didn't find anything on this, I hope this isn't redundant, I found the switch in the lcd on the GL-1 to flip the image!
On the lcd take the plastic cover off, their are several small screws on the perimeter that will allow this. Then if you look on the inside of the back cover there are two black tabs each with a small aluminum cover. The smaller of the tabs is teh key for the lcd flip switch. On the circuit board of the corresponding point for the protruding tab is the switch to flip the image. It looks like a small rectangular aluminum box with a small black nubbin sticking out of it, yes nubbin. If you press the nubin the image flips.
Along the body of the camera where the lcd rotates is a small groove where the pin which activates the switch slides. The bottom of this groove is angled upward, thereby creating a surface which decreases in depth as you spin the lcd away from you thereby telling the screen to slip when it reaches a certain point.
THe switch can be tricked several ways, the ideal way we be to create a surface in that groove the exact opposite of the oem one. Allowing for the opposite behavior as the current mechanism. (lol i feel like this reads like a tech mannual sorry...)
