If the auto rotate playback function does not work...

œThe auto rotate playback function uses the gravity exerted on the camera when the image was captured [page 59] to record the image orientation data. For this reason, when an image is captured with the lens pointed downward, for example, the image orientation data may not be recorded. When the image orientation data is correctly recorded, it is indicated by an arrow above the focus icon that appears when the image is focussed. To take advantage of the auto rotate playback function, confirm that an arrow appears above the focus icon when you are capturing the image.
