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.

z 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].

z 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.
