Image Rotation

By default, the D70S 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 Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or later (available separately) or Pic- tureProject. If desired, this feature 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.
