Preview orientation

Post by BearThunder »

I'm shooting vertical, and the preview window keeps flipping upside down/right way up constantly. This is super annoying. Is there a way to lock the orientation of the preview window? Using a Nikon Z6ii.

This is caused by the body orientation sensor having problems in full vertical orientation. The only workaround is to disable the the live view auto-rotate in the body lcd menu, or shim the copystand a bit so it is not perfectly vertical.

I can confirm that this is super annoying too. I turned off the play back "auto-rotation" on our D7500 camera body and that made absolutely no difference. I also hunted around for another setting somewhere to fix the issue but came up empty handed. We take a lot of our photos with the camera vertical, so this is an issue for us. Does ControlMyNikon have a switch to lock the orientation like Camera Control Pro 2 (auto-rotation check box on the LV screen)?
