Photographs taken while On is selected contain information on
camera orientation, allowing them to be rotated automatically
during playback or when viewed in ViewNX-i or in Capture NX-D.
The following orientations are recorded:
Camera orientation is not recorded when Off is selected. Choose
this option when panning or taking photographs with the lens
pointing up or down.
If On is selected, “tall” (portrait-orientation) pictures taken with On
selected for Auto image rotation will be automatically rotated for
display in the monitor. Pictures taken with Off selected for Auto
image rotation will be displayed in “wide” (landscape
orientation). Note that because the camera itself is already in the
appropriate orientation during shooting, images are not rotated
automatically during image review.
