What The !!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,

I took this photo today with the camera in a horizontal position however it appeared in both the viewfinder and the PC (once transfered) in a vertical aspect... it is also a bit skewed in the dimensions.

This happened to two images and then the camera was fine again...

Any idea?

I guess this has not happened to anyone else

Hi Woody

I don't yet have a D70 so forgive me if this is way off beam but can the D70 take photos in portrait mode? i.e. similar to layout choices one gets when using a word processor.

Graham,

You just move the camera and orient it vertically, so, yes.

The point of Woody's post is that the D70 has an orientation sensor, and in the case of the image that Woody posted, it doesn't appear to have correctly registered the orientation.

One though I have on this is that perhaps, Woody, you may have had the focal plane parallel to the ground? I don't know if that makes a difference, but I can envisage that if the sensor is something like a mercury switch, that might throw the contacts out wrt this type of image.
