When shooting, the camera detects if it is held vertically or horizontally, and adjusts
settings accordingly for the best shot. It also detects orientation during playback, so you
can hold the camera in either orientation and it will automatically rotate images for
correct viewing.
This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or
down.
