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.

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.

The Auto Rotate function can be set for the shooting and
playback modes separately.
- When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in shooting
mode, the orientation of the camera is recorded when the
shot is taken. Therefore, the image is automatically
rotated during playback mode based on the orientation of
the camera during shooting.
