Setting The Auto Rotate Function - Canon PowerShot SD100 User Manual

Setting the Auto Rotate Function

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 viewing orientation in the display. You
can set this function on/off.
• 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 optional white balance,
exposure and focus for vertical photography. This function operates
regardless of the On/Off status of the Auto Rotate function.
• 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.
• This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed
straight up or down. Check that the arrow
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.
