K3 Auto Image Rotation Issue

CDW · 03-15-2014, 07:21 PM

I shot some vertical frames this morning and when reviewing them, and rotating the body for a vertical orientation of the display, instead of displaying the image full display, the following image in my shot sequence came up on the display. This is a repeatable fault with my K3. Has anyone else experienced this, or, have I missed something on a setting? I have the Auto Rotation setting checked. Thanks.

I just tried on my K-3. Mine keeps the same picture on the screen and rotates it properly, either direction. I switched back and forth between pictures too. No weirdness.
What firmware are you on? I am still on 1.02.

I just tried again with JPG instead of DNG. Still no oddities. Does it do it every time?
Hunch: While using the Playback button to display images, rotating the camera causes the camera to reload the image from the card so it can re-render for the rotated screen.
If this hunch is correct, the symptom could indicate file-system corruption of some sort on the card. Can you shoot some more on another card and try again?
