Choose whether or not camera orientation is recorded with shooting.
Picture orientation information can be modified from the Rotate image option in
the playback menu (A 131).
B Notes on Record Orientation
• When shooting with the shutter-release button held down, camera orientation information is
fixed at that of the first picture in each burst, and the same orientation information is recorded
with all pictures in the burst.
• When pictures are taken with the lens pointing up or down, camera orientation information may
not be accurately recorded.
• When the camera is rotated during playback, the picture displayed is also rotated (A 11).
Auto Off
If no operations are performed for the selected length of time, the monitor will
turn off and the camera enters standby mode (A 17) to reduce drain on the
batteries. The power-on lamp blinks in standby mode. If no operations are
performed for another three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically.
Choose the time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode if no
operations are performed from 30 s, 1 min (default setting), 5 min, and 30 min.

• When no smiling face is detected while shooting with the smile timer: five minutes (30 minutes
when Auto off is set to 30 min)
