The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.

: Standard,
: Held vertically
When shooting, the camera detects if it is held vertically or horizontally, and adjusts
settings accordingly for the best shot. It also detects orientation during playback, so you
can hold the camera in either orientation and it will automatically rotate images for
correct viewing.
This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down.
