So I'm taking a ton of product pictures, many of them from directly above them pointing down. My new SX150is camera is CONSTANTLY rotating the picture. Clearly it has some type of gyro in it to recognize portrait or landscape style pictures, but I truly just want it to always think the bottom of the camera is the bottom of the camera and leave it at that. I'm having to rotate tons of pictures once uploaded to my computer... cannot find this setting..

Any ideas????

Press the "Play" button.

Then press "Menu"

Next scroll down to "Auto Rotate"

Select "off".

Reference: Page 160 in the manual

I had done that, I'll retry it.

The issue is not playback on the camera, its that when transferred to the computer the image is rotated. Hoping that fixes it and I was wrong!

i believe the auto rotate feature cannot be turned off for capture. you can only turn it on and off for viewing purposes only. Depending on youre viewing method on your computer you may or may not be able to turn it off.
