turning off Auto Rotate

    I am on a Mac and I just ignore auto-rotate.

    I consider auto-rotate to be much to do about nothing. I'd like to know what's behind the curtain; some times it works, some times it does nothing, and worst of all sometimes it cants the pictures about 10 degrees counter clockwise.  Why bother?

    Zack,

    Are you applying Auto-Adjust at some point in your process?

    Auto Rotate is available in Auto Adjust OR as a separate selective action in the Rotation and Flip tool.

    You can choose to disable it for Auto-Adjust.

    I believe I've solved it.  Or at least I've found a solution.  Default settings had the "Auto Alignment" box checked in "Next Capture Adjustments" tool.  

     

    Not seeing any way to turn off auto rotation in the Rotation and Flip tool

    I'm having this issue too!

    I shoot Packaging, so i'm typically shooting on grey and this auto rotate nonsense is a huge pain.

    Everything's fine and then in the middle of the shoot live with the client over zoom, and POP suddenly the image is 2 to 70 degree's rotated, and the clients like, uuuuuh wtf?

    Auto adjustments all turned off, no auto align, nothing like that. Next capture adjustment orientation set to 0 or default, doesn't matter.

    So far the only solution I've found is to save a style with the Rotate & Flip tool set to 0.01 and apply it to every image, but even that isn't 100%.

    would love a way to completely disable this.

    Which cameras are you using for the shoot?

    Are they overhead shots?

    Auto-rotate, to the best of my knowledge, is not applied by default UNLESS something like "Auto-Adjust" is used and the Auto-Rotate option within that has been made active. The controls in the Camera tools for tethering are also "opt-in" as far as I am aware. (Might be different for some Phase One cameras.)

    I kind of wonder if you are seeing some sort of faux Keyboard Shortcut effect for some reason  - or at least something that is creating a rotate command with you expecting it.

    Well, there have in the past been reports of Orientation identification issues with some cameras when used shooting vertically down but from memory that was mainly Nikon sensitivity. Phase One cameras also auto-orient and auto-rotate as I recall but I do not remember reading about many issues with them.

    When the image is rotated is a crop also applied at the same time?

    Do you see the same problem as the client does (via zoom)?

    We're shooting horizontally, typically with the orientation set to 0, but i suppose that's possible.

    yep, a crop was consistently applied each time it happened, and it was happening in capture, so we were definitely seeing it too

    Is there a fix for this? Can the auto rotate / crop be disabled? Please help!

    I am shooting with a 5D2 in the portrait mode.  The shots that I was taking had low head dam in the scene and I used the low head dam as a reference to level the pano. I then applied the Auto-rotate and the image canted -2.76 degree (counter clockwise).

    I ignore the auto-rotate and just use the manual rotation.

    It happened on Fujifilm and Canon.

    Solved.(I hope I'm right)

    "Next Capture Adjustment" Tab

    Auto Alignment -> uncheck

    Other -> Default

    shoot one image.

    Other -> Copy from Last

    It worked (for now)
