Setting the Auto Rotate Function Shooting Mode Your camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that detects the orientation of an image shot with the camera held vertically and automatically rotates it to the correct orientation when viewing it on the LCD monitor. 1 (Set up) Menu [Auto Rotate] [On]/[Off]. See Menus and Settings (p. 32). When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] and the LCD monitor is set to the detailed display mode, the (normal), (right end is down) or (left end is down) will appear in the display. This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down. Check that the arrow is pointing 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 the software used to download the images. When the camera is held vertically 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, exposure and focus for vertical photography. This function operates regardless of the on/off status of the Auto Rotate function. When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in shooting mode, the orientation of the camera is recorded when the shot is taken. When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in playback mode, images will be rotated to their correct orientation on the LCD monitor as needed when the camera's orientation is changed (only applies to images shot when the Auto Rotate function was set to [On]). 70
