Why are they coming upside down?

they come out correct in the camera but when I put the SD card in the folder on my desk drive they are upside down. I put the sd card in the card reader and copy them to a folder on the desktop. TY Dennis

Had the same problem when my new to me 645Z arrived. There are 2 settings that control this. One flips the image recorded to the card the other flips the view on the screen. You have both images flipped. So it looks fine when viewed on camera screen but wrong anywhere else.

To fix display go to pg 3 under Camera icon. Select live view. Uncheck rotate display 180°.

To fix camera go to pg 1 under camera >image capture settings>deselect 180° rotation info.

Pages R15 & R19 of the reference manual cover this.. This took me quite a while to figure out how to fix initially. It is maddening when it happens.

Good luck.

Thanks,

Glad it worked. An 180° icon shows up on 645Z monitor when the feature is engaged.. Looking forward to seeing your photos.

Thanks,

Hopefully soon I will be able to use it. I now have 3 Lenses FA 120 Macro, 55 D-FA and the FA 35 These are the ones I preferred. Now for some FUN. Thanks for the help
