Mark II auto rotate?

| ->> I bought a second Mark II recently. The auto rotate function is on, but the images don't rotate consistently- sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Specifically in the camera, but when down loaded they haven't rotated either. I never used the camera with the original firmware, but it has the most recent update. Any ideas?? |

->> What software are you using to look at them?
In Photo Mechanic and PhotoShop, they are rotated correctly every time I open them initially. When I edit in PM, then open them directly from PM in PS, then, re-open them again, they are never rotated correctly.
Windows Picture Viewers and other third-party softwares also never seem to rotate them correctly.
I don't have the latest firmware though... |

->> In one camera it does it correctly the newer camera dosen't. To answer your question though, I use both Photoshop (with Bridge) and Photo Mechanic, it doesn't rotate the unrotated ones as seen on the camera, in either program, but only from the one camera. The other camera works correctly all the time.
That may not be trrue either. Although they are rotated when displayed in my Photoshop program, when I send them via email, only the thumb is sometimes rotated. My guess is there is a code in the code that somehow gets stripped off, or not correctly applied. |

->> Will,
I just got a MkII about two weeks ago and the same thing is happening with mine. I've got auto rotate turned on and the majority of the time the images rotate. However, occasionally, there'll be a series of four or five consecutive vertical frames that don't rotate. And I get the same thing you're describing -- the random ones aren't rotated in-camera nor photo mechanic.
Hopefully someone will come back with an answer on this one. |

The only time I ever have random images that don't rotate, they are the same images that I get an Error 99 or Error 1 on.
It happens rarely, but it does pop up once or twice every thousand frames or so. |

->> Nick,
Thanks for the reference to that thread. However, I don't think this is a problem (at least not in my situation) with Photo Mechanic or Photoshop.
Considering it's not rotating in-camera (on the LCD), it seems to me that the "rotate" tag is not being placed on some files from the camera.
To make all this moot, I'm highly considering turning auto rotate off anywhoo. I don't like that the images are rotated on the LCD (when they're done correctly).

->> I turned my auto-rotate off shortly after trying it both because it never worked consistently and because the LCD is small enough already and when you try to view a rotated image on the LCD it gets even smaller requiring you to zoom in substantially in order to see if your image is even close to in focus. If the LCD were square so both landscape and portrait images displayed the same size AND the autorotate worked consistently I'd use it. But for now I just let ACDSee batch rotate the files I need rotated.
