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.
When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in shooting
mode, the orientation of the camera is recorded when the
shot is taken.
When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in playback
mode, images will be rotated to their correct orientation in
the LCD monitor as needed when the camera's orientation
is changed (only applies to images shot when the Auto
Rotate function was set to [On]).
