This is one of those things that seems so obvious it's shocking it hasn't been baked. |
|
| |
I imagine it's not done on the camera because the camera screens are normally orientated landscape wise. And maybe because the lossless rotation requires a fair bit of processing power. That said, I reckon a little tilt switch that records the orientation and puts it into the jpeg header EXIF style would be nice, that way your desktop imaging software could orient them all automatically. |
|

Oh for crying out loud even my crummy little HP digital camera does automatic image orientation. If you posted this 6 years ago you might have had something. |
|
| |
Search for "orientation sensor" and ye shall be rewarded; HP does it, Kodak does it, Canon does it, Olympus does it, the gorgeous Panasonic Lumix does it, Leica does it.... |

I'd say it's widely known to exist. |
|
| |
Yup, what [bris] said. It is so baked, it has gone stale. |
|
| |
My Nikon 995 doesn't. It still doesn't even to this day. Particularly annoying as probably 97% of my shots are portrait. When mine starts doing it, then I'd say it's baked. |

//I'd say it's widely known to exist.// - How come I've never seen this on anyone's camera? I'd say that it's known to exist and should be more widely so. |
|
| |
My associate [fridge duck] has a phone camera which does this. |
|
| |
//My Nikon 995 doesn't// The Coolpix has got so many bendy bits, the damn thing would need a degree in three-dimensional trigonometry to know which way it was pointing. For the record, my Pentax *istDS doesn't have an orientation sensor either, though I'd guess they've been around for around four or five years at least. |

"When mine starts doing it, then I'd say it's baked." |
|
| |
When your camera starts sprouting new features unbidden I'd say it's a miracle. |
|
| |
When it gives me more than 20 seconds battery life, that'd be a miracle. |
|
| |
There will always remain a lot of cool stuff out there, baked, that I don't know about (yet). So, [-]/baked, but cool anyway. |
|
| |
One of the great things about this place is that you can found out about all that cool stuff from people's links. |
|
| |
Baked, but hold the mercury. |
|
| |
I have two top-of-the-line digital cameras and neither comes with this feature. Maybe this was once baked, but I think it's gone stale and got fed to the pigeons. We need to bake a new one. |
|
| |
Nice idea, but my point-and-shoot Canon Digital ELPH does this. |
|
| |
OK... I just posted this; [Ian] and [AWOL] were kind enough to point out a) that it was even staler this time around, and b) that [aq_bi] got there first. [+] even though it's baked. |
