I don't think I have ever seen "inverted." However I know that having a good camera on the beach can be the death of it.
As soon as sand gets into the moving parts that can jam them and ruin it permanently. The salt spray also is not great for the electronics or the lens coatings.
I bring a cheap digital when I go to the beach just for fear of that kind of problem.

Cameras and beach sand (and/or moisture) don't mix.
