Nikon D70S Manuel D’Utilisation

By default, the D70S records camera orientation 
with each photograph taken.  This allows “tall” 
(portrait) orientation photographs to be displayed 
in the correct orientation when played back on 
the camera or viewed using Nikon Capture 4 
version 4.2 or later (available separately) or Pic-
tureProject.  If desired, this feature can be turned 
off while taking photographs with the lens pointed up or down, when the 
camera may fail to record the correct orientation.  Highlight Image rotation 
in the setup menu (

 155) and press the multi selector to the right.   Press 

the multi selector up or down to highlight the desired option, then press the 
multi selector to the right.

(default)

Camera orientation is not recorded.  Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or 
later and PictureProject display all photographs in landscape (wide) 
orientation, and camera rotation icon in Nikon Capture 4 Camera 
Control shows camera in horizontal (landscape) orientation.   Choose 
this option when taking photographs with lens pointing up or lens 
pointing down.

Camera records whether shots are in landscape (wide) orientation, por-
trait (tall) orientation with the camera rotated 90 ° clockwise, or portrait 
(tall) orientation with the camera rotated 90 ° counter-clockwise.

* In continuous mode (

 62), orientation recorded for fi rst shot applies to all images 

in same burst, even if camera orientation is changed during shooting.
