Image Rotation
By default, the D70 records camera orientation
with each photograph taken. This allows “tall”
(portrait) orientation photographs to be displayed
in the correct orientation when played back on the
camera or viewed using PictureProject or Nikon
Capture 4 version 4.1 or later. If desired, this fea-
ture can be turned off while taking photographs
with the lens pointed up or down, when the camera may fail to record the
correct orientation. Highlight Image rotation in the setup menu ( 155)
and press the multi selector to the right. Press the multi selector up or down
to highlight the desired option, then press the multi selector to the right.
