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 in the LCD monitor.
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.
You can set the Auto Rotate function separately for the
shooting and playback modes.
- When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in shooting
mode, the camera's orientation is recorded and the
image is automatically switched to the correct orientation
in playback mode.
- When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in playback
mode, images are rotated to their correct orientation in
the LCD monitor according to the camera's orientation.
