When Rotate Tall is turned on, the D7000 rotates pictures taken in vertical orientation
on the LCD screen so you don’t have to turn the camera to view them comfortably.
However, this orientation also means that the longest dimension of the image is shown
using the shortest dimension of the LCD, so the picture is reduced in size, as you can
see at right in Figure 8.6.
So, turn this feature On (as well as Auto Image Rotation in the Setup menu), if you’d
rather not turn your camera to view vertical shots in their natural orientation, and don’t
mind the smaller image. Turn the feature Off if, as I do, you’d rather see a larger image
and are willing to rotate the camera to do so.
Slide Show
The D7000’s Slide Show feature is a convenient way to review images in the current
playback folder one after another, without the need to manually switch between them.
To activate a slide show, just choose Start from this entry in the Playback menu. If you
like, you can choose Frame Intervalbefore commencing the show in order to select an
interval of either 2, 3, 5, or 10 seconds between “slides.” During playback, you can press
the OK button to pause the “slide show.” When the show is paused, a menu pops up,
as shown in Figure 8.7, with choices to restart the show (by pressing the OK button
again); change the interval between frames; or to exit the show entirely.
