Default Well I never.

Took a couple of photos this afternoon, nothing unusual about that, but turned the camera through 90 degrees to fit a tall tree. Was very surprised to see that the camera had recognised that I had rotated it to take the photos and had rotated tem for me.

That is one very neat feature. Do they all do it?

My problem is that the instruction manual is a last resort Chocky, so I quite often miss features like this.

I rarely reasd ( ican't read) the instruction manual I came accross it in the camera's maenu . I have one camera that , when you look on the screen of the pic you have just taken , which ever way you turn the camera the pic rights its self. Can't remember which camea now, thinkit might be the Konika.
I always find insruction manual go left to right I can't work that way I'm lef orientated and have an obsession for simitry. (Not as bad as AdrienMonk Though) lol
