Camera Orientation Detection - Casio QV-4000 User Manual

Camera Orientation Detection

The camera automatically
detects whether it is
oriented vertically or
horizontally when you
record an image, and
stores the orientation
along with the image data.
When you display the images on the camera's monitor
screen, they are automatically oriented correctly as you
recorded them. You can also configure the bundled Photo
Loader application (page E-138) so it automatically positions
each image using the orientation data stored with it.
IMPORTANT!
• Note that all images are displayed on the camera's monitor
screen using standard horizontal orientation during fast
scrolling of images, on the 9-image screen, and on all im-
age selection menu screens.
• Note the following precautions to ensure that the sensor
built into the camera can correctly detect the orientation of
the camera.
— Make sure you are holding the camera still when re-
cording images. Camera movement can cause sensor
errors.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
— When recording portrait orientation images, position
the camera so it is standing up as straight as possible,
as shown in the illustration below. Holding the camera
at an angle can cause sensor errors. As a general
rule, do not allow the camera to be more than about 20
degrees off of vertical.
— Tilting the camera too far upwards or downwards can
also cause sensor errors. As a general rule, do not
allow the camera to point more than about 60 degrees
up or down.
— The camera orientation sensor does not work with
movie images.
