Setting the Auto Rotate Function
This camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that
detects the orientation of an image shot with the camera on end and
automatically rotates it to the correct viewing orientation in the
display. You can set this function on/off.
Mode Dial
1
Select [Auto Rotate] in the [
(Set up)] menu.
z
See
Selecting Menus and Settings
(p. 44).
2
Select [On] and press the MENU
button.
z
When this function is On, an icon
showing the orientation of the camera
appears at the upper right corner of the
LCD monitor (or viewfinder).
z
This function may not operate correctly when the camera is
pointed straight up or down. Check that the correct camera
orientation icon (e.g.
) is displayed 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 software
used to download the images.
z
When the camera is held on end 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 and
exposure for vertical photography. This function operates
regardless of the On/Off status of the Auto Rotate function.
z
When changing the camera’s orientation between the horizontal
and vertical positions, you may hear noise coming from the
orientation detection mechanism. This is not a malfunction.
