338 The “Playback” Menu Settings

go back to viewing individual images, highlight an image you want to look
at and press the center of the joystick.
So this function lets you choose between seeing 9 or 25 images while in
index mode.

8.4 DISPLAY ROTATION

Menu Position MENU  1  Display Rotation

What it Does Determines how vertical images are displayed when played
back

Recommended Setting Off

When the camera plays back an image shot in horizontal format, the entire
image fills the LCD. But what should the camera do when you’ve shot a
vertical composition? Should the camera shrink the vertical image so it fits
the height of the horizontal display (which is the factory default)? Or
should it display it as large as possible and let YOU turn the camera to see
it properly (my preference)?

So this function gives you three different choices:
1. Auto – The camera will automatically rotate the image so it appears
“properly” – even when you rotate the camera. (You can still rotate it
manually in this mode – see below.)
2. Manual – The camera behaves the same way as Auto mode above, only
it won’t automatically rotate the image when you rotate the camera
during playback. (But you can still rotate it manually.)
3. Off – All images show as horizontal, filling the display.
In my mind this feature is a little broken, since in order to rotate the image
manually in options 1 or 2 above, you have to dig into a menu: MENU 
1  Rotate (and no, you can’t assign it to a button!)
