Setting the Auto Rotate Function This camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that detects the orientation of an image shot with the camera on end and automatically rotates it to the correct viewing orientation in the display. You can set this function on/off. 1 Select [Auto Rotate] in the [ (Set up)] menu. See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 42). 2 Select [On] and press the button. When this function is on, an icon showing the orientation of the camera appears at the upper right corner of the LCD monitor display (when information display is on). Normal Camera on right end Camera on left end Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects • This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down. Check that the arrow is pointed in the right direction and if it is not, then set the Auto Rotate function to Off. • Even if the Auto Rotate function is set to on, the orientation of images downloaded to a computer will depend upon software used to download the images. • When the camera is held on end to shoot, the Intelligent Orientation sensor judges the upper end to be "up" and the lower end to be "down". It then regulates the optimal white balance and exposure for vertical photography. This function operates regardless of the On/Off status of the Auto Rotate function. • When changing the camera's orientation between the horizontal and vertical positions, you may hear noise coming from the orientation detection mechanism. This is not a malfunction. 111
