• 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 and exposure
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.
