Re: wouldn't it be nice
Ooh! A truly iconic representation of human society being reduced to the microcosm of circuitry. The looping wires representing the convoluted path. to the ancient biological interfaces, roughly scribbled words on plywood like the modern echo of primitive cave drawings. So moving. . . . Nice and sharp too. It's got a cast, though, and you probably should adjust the white balance. ;-))) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/30/04 12:29AM If the camera can guess correctly 95% of the time then that is beneficial. The *ist D is a great camera, but that doesn't mean that one shouldn't use it for snapshots when a snapshot is what one is going for. All photographs don't need to be artistic or even enjoyable. Often they are just documentary and are there to show something which is hard to explain in words. This is the only picture that I've shot this week: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/wiring/reduced/IMGP3493.JPG It is a picture of my router. Is it artistic? No. Was it helpful to a friend who wondered what it looked like? Yes. Did I take it with the *ist D? Yes. Sometimes I just shoot with the *ist D in S *** mode and upload pictures straight from the camera with no editing because I want to put something online. In these cases autorotation can save a little bit of time and has no downsides that I'm aware of. alex On Tue, 29 Jun 2004, Herb Chong wrote: so what is different between that and not doing anything?

In the browser of PS CS you have to instruct it to rotate it, it will remember this the next time and show the thumbnail correct, as well as open the image correct. It would have been nice if the instruction came from the camera though.

It's expected that the new Minolta D7 will have this feature since the existing film 7 already does change the numbers and data on the back as well when you turn it to vertical. So they already have the technology in it that knows the cameras orientation. -Original Message- From: Jim Apilado [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 10:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wouldn't it be nice I think that backwater camera company called Canon has a DSLR that will rotate images taken vertically.

Re: wouldn't it be nice
I think it could be done on the ist-D in a firmware upgrade. I figure if the camera could know when the vertical release is used on the D-BG1 then it could easily mark those images for rotation in whatever browser you are using.
