When I put the SD card into my PC and open the pics they show the horizontal view of the pic with no indication of orientation, but appear as I took them on the monitor, if the pic was vertical I would rotate it and save it....really weird...?
May look at that irfanview thing to check if i don't figure out why I am getting variations in the orientation, it hasn't been a problem before.
Thanks for your help my friend, I appreciate it.
