[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 105709, member: 9240"] If some are auto-rotated and not others then you probably have things set correctly. The camera has sensors to detect its orientation so that it can perform these functions. However, I've discovered there are times when I think I'm shooting horizontal/vertical, but I've twisted myself some way, either sideways of forwards/backwards, that has the camera thinking otherwise. For example, if you have the camera oriented vertically, but bend over 75-90 degrees to take a shot of something on a tabletop, the camera is now in an orientation that probably confuses that sensor. Are you shooting an object vertically tilted top to bottom, or horizontally tilted left to right? I find that when the camera is facing forward that it's very good determining orientation for the middle 140-150 degrees from ground to sky. After that it's pot luck, and when you're shooting straight up or down then it always seems to default to horizontal. The camera will always store in the horizontal position with the camera orientation stored in the metadata. The camera and software will have settings to use this information when displaying the photos, so if it's not happening check the settings, and if it's happening inconsistently my paragraph above may apply.
