œWhen a picture is taken with the camera held vertically, the image played back on the LCD monitor screen or on a TV set will be shown on its side. However, images captured in the still image shooting mode or sequential shots shooting mode can be rotated when they are played back (see page 96). Note that video clips cannot be rotated when they are played back.
