300D and Auto-Rotate no worky?

[LexLuther]

I've been having this annoying problem for the last month or so since I got back from my wedding in the caribbean. I can fill up a 512mb card with pictures.. just walking about, and some of those are taken with the camera in rotated 90°, but the picture still shows up in the playback winodw and on my computer as not rotated. I've only played around with formating CF cards and turning the auto-rotate on/off a couple of times.

Sometimes I put in a different CF card and it will work for a little while, and then stop again.

I only use the 18-55 and 50mm f1.8

If you have the auto-rotate switched on on the camera and you still see the images not rotated *on the camera*, the orientation sensor in the camera might be stuck, and you should let Canon take a look at it.

i think it would probably be easier to spend 10 minutes and just rotate them in photoshop.

It depends on how you tranfer the pics to your pc. Let the canon SW do the job and all pics will be rotated after transfering.

The other day I was a little bit too quick and transfered it to a very slow computer. After that I finished the canon application and guess what: only the first pictures were rotated right.

So just be patient and let the SW do it's job.... :lol:

what viewer are you using that doesn't see the auto-rotated .jpgs?

have you tried breezebrowser? it has a great auto-rotate jpg function that doesn't appear to compress the images. just select all, auto-rotate - that's it!

This is all taking place within the camera itself. When I go to playback mode in the camera, the pictures are 'supposed' to be rotated to their proper postion depending on what position the camera was in when the shot was taken. I believe that is the sole function of 'auto-rotate'.

When the camera was new, and I was using WinXP Scanner/Camera wizard to bring pictures into my computer everything was fine. All pictures came into the computer just as they looked on the camera.

I think I'll be needing to take the camera in to canon. I hope the turn around time isn't too long, especially since they're a couple lights away from me.

Just a heads up for you. Just because canon might be a "COUPLE LIGHTS AWAY" from you, doesn't mean that is their digital repair center. When I had my lens repaired I was talking to them about digital camera these days and the shop I took it to have been around for 28 years and have been an AUTHORIZED canon repair facility for 28 years and they said that there is only a handful of repair centers that are allowed to do work on DIGITAL cameras. When I say a handful, if you were missing a finger or two, you still would beable to fit them in your hand. So, you might be farming it out....
