I'm using a mac w/ DPP and my photos come out oriented the right way. Other than EOS Utility, how do you import your shots and on what platform?

Carsan Photog [deleted] says:
I've used Image Capture and Aperture 2 on my mac, and the photos are auto-rotated by the camera. And everything ends up the right way when importing.
Have you set the auto-rotate option in your camera?

Windows is rather braindead. With my computer the jpgs end up unrotated while the raw files show up in the correct orientation if I look at the thumbnails in explorer. All software that I actually use for my photos knows to rotate correctly.
I don't rotate the actual image. I just depend on my software to read the rotation information in the image metadata.

As with what Andreas says,
All my images are roted correctly when opened in a software. I only shoot .CR2 RAW though, so jpegs aren't an issue either way for me.
I have had the camera set to both PC+Camera display rotation, and just PC rotation and they work fine.
A note to make is that the Camera has a little gyro sensor. If you're shooting straight up or down, then this sensors output can be missinterpreted by the camera, and an innapropriate tag can be assigned to the file. Not that it matters, its just a note to make.

well i am running windows xp and most of the time ill use EOS utility but ive been trying lightroom and just doing it manually also
each time they ALL come up in landscape
Andreas Helke and leon all shots:
i DID in fact notice that when i shoot raw then they do come up oriented right, problem is that usually i shoot JPEG
it seems to me that only the windows platform doesnt know what to do?
thanks alot everyone

To second that. I tried out shooting jpeg, and yeah, windows is retarded, as is most other 3rd party software.
Jpegs simply do not rotate, you'd have to rotate afterwards in your 3rd party program.
Just a quick mention that windows exploroer folder view allows you to select multiple files and then rotate (counter clockwise in this case). Apparently that isn't a cleaver thing to do, using windows own rotation, as it can screw the image up a bit, and destroy data.
It's a wierd thing that the 30d is doing here.
Hope you find a feasable and speedy work-around.

I've found that the only way to get jpegs to rotate is to push them through DPP - just process them as a batch and they are then displayed correctly within Windows. Though the downside is you lose a shed load of exif data - why does DPP do that?

there is something about Microsoft not getting along with Canon perhaps?
na, but i have found one way of working around it!
i did an import yesterday through Lightroom and when it displays them in the library at the bottom than it has them oriented the right way!
but this is ONLY IN LIGHTROOM, for when the images are viewed through windows explorer, they are still nice and landscape-ish

It has nothing to do with Canon. The camera does not rotate the picture, but saves the orientation in the exif of the jpeg, and it's the software you are using to view the images that has to read this info and act accordingly. Windows explorer does not care. If you try irfanview or acdsee, you will see that the jpegs are displayed nicely. If the pictures are not rotated correctly in these (or the canon software) it is possible that you turned your camera auto rotation feature off. Check your camera settings (and manual)
