Auto Image Rotation; Rotate Tall - Nikon N1538 Reference Manual

Auto Image Rotation

Photographs taken while On is selected contain information on
camera orientation, allowing them to be rotated automatically
during playback or when viewed in ViewNX-i or in Capture NX-D
(0 210). The following orientations are recorded:
Landscape (wide)
orientation
Camera orientation is not recorded when Off is selected.
Choose this option when panning or taking photographs with
the lens pointing up or down.

Rotate Tall

If On is selected, "tall" (portrait-orientation) pictures will be
automatically rotated for display in the monitor (pictures taken
with Off selected for Auto image rotation will still be displayed
in landscape orientation). Note that because the camera itself is
already in the appropriate orientation during shooting, images
are not rotated automatically during image review.
