Kamera Klutter Posted July 17, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) New Q. Finally. I understand there are some quirks with this camera, but I think this one is new. The Auto Rotate Display when On does not show my vertical images in that format. If you tilt the camera left or right it shifts the image (tilting left takes it to the correct orientation, tilting right is upside down). Anyone have an experience with this? Does the new Firmware fix this bug? I don't want to send my camera back to Leica... have encountered delays and the imposition of dust on the sensor of my old Q, which was a lemon and just replaced by Leica. It's not a terrible bug, but the fact that it doesn't function correctly annoys me. Your thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieboy Posted July 17, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 17, 2016 Turn the Auto-Rotate to Off I haven't tried this with the Q, but on many other cameras if you do that you then have to rotate each vertical pic when you're viewing them on your computer and opening them in, say, Photoshop. Is this true of the Q as well? I suspect it would be, how else does your computer know how to orient them? I have had a bit of an issue--depending on how I'm sitting or standing if I'm viewing pics they sometimes rotate while I'm looking at them. Small annoyance, I'd prefer it didn't happen but I can live with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you get a much larger picture to view by doing it this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamera Klutter Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted July 17, 2016 Peyton, thanks for weighing in. The Q is configured to automatically display an intentionally vertical image in that way (as is the Canon 5D Mark III). Mine won't, even though the setting is turned On. It's no tragedy, but for the price... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm referring to once you put the images into the computer, on your picture browser and/or photoshop if you use it. If you shoot a lot of pictures and of those many are verticals, it can become an pain to have to rotate each one to view it/process it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamera Klutter Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted July 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) After being loaded into the computer the image does NOT show in portrait mode and remains in landscape. The photo was physically made holding the camera vertically. Now that can be a problem, having to rotate vertical images! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamera Klutter Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted July 19, 2016 I Reset the camera and it seems to be functioning correctly, When in doubt, reboot! Thanks for your time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
