Image Rotation
By default, the D70 records camera orientation
with each photograph taken. This allows “tall”
(portrait) orientation photographs to be displayed
in the correct orientation when played back on
the camera or viewed using the supplied software
or Nikon Capture 4 version 4.1 or later. If de-
sired, this feature can be turned off while taking
photographs with the lens pointed up or down, when the camera may fail
to record the correct orientation. Highlight Image rotation in the setup
menu (
155) and press the multi selector to the right. Press the multi
selector up or down to highlight the desired option, then press the multi
selector to the right.
