zapp Posted September 6, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am from the rare to find species of people that can not accept in camera auto image orientation. I need my images to be always oriented like good old slide film. Well, it happened and my question is: Is there an easy way to change oriented raw images from the M8 back to un-oriented images? From the images it is not obvious if it was taken upside down right side up and so on. Typically you can get some info in the exif, but can you edit it...

Advertisement Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Hi zapp, Take a look here M8 orientation sensor. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted September 6, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2007 I'm not sure I follow what you mean. When I take an image with the camera upside down, the image appears upside down on the LCD. I don't think the M8 even has auto image orientation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venkman Posted September 6, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2007 IMO, the M8 has no orientation sensor, hence the 90° turns of the average M8 photog. Whatever software you use will most likely do the turning. Dirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 6, 2007 Share #4 Posted September 6, 2007 Now that I think of it, I have never seen any image falsely oriented in C1. Somehow there must be some kind of sensing going on. Maybe it can be switched off in C1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoin Posted September 6, 2007 Share #5 Posted September 6, 2007 There is an orientation sensor in the M8 which records the info in the exif info of the file. This data is usually read by the raw converter program to place the images in the as taken orientation. Canon and it's software DPP or EVU was about the only package I know that allowed you to ignore the orientation. I don't recall seeing this function in any of the mainstream offerings.

luigi bertolotti Posted September 6, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 6, 2007 I am not sure to have understood well the problem but, orientation sensor or not, it happened to me, 2 or 3 times, to shoot vertical and seeing in the LCD something strange (if I do remember well, not the usual full frame but a partial horizontal frame so that the vertical shot was completely displayed in the LCD horizontally seen); I did not take much care of... the files were ok... but, thinking of, was clearly a strange behavior that I cannot explain... very rare, as I say, and do not remember if there was something specifically set in the camera (but I think no).

grober Posted September 6, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) The iPhone team could sort things out and add the feature you desire. (The next iPhone becomes an 88 dollar accessory to the 8,800 dollar M9.) Someone please send an M8 to Steve Jobs to jump-start the process! -g.

Baxter Posted September 6, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 6, 2007 Orientation sensor has always worked for me, until last night....... Then again, I was taking pictures of two children whilst bouncing high on a trampoline! Leicas are quite liberating. Easy to fix orientation in LR with Cmd/Ctrl [ or ] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tummydoc Posted September 6, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 6, 2007 IMO, the M8 has no orientation sensor Right, that would be profiling and that's not PC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
