This function may not operate correctly when the camera is

is

pointing in the right direction and if it is not, then set the Auto
Rotate function to [Off].

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.
