How to take a photo in portrait orientation?
I want to take a photo with my Samsung DigiMax L60 digital camera and want to make sure the photo appears in portrait orientation,not landscape. What do I need to do specifically to make sure the photo appears in portrait orientation? I have tried holding my camera in portrait orientation but the photo still comes out in landscape!! What can I do to make sure the photo comes out in portrait like I want it to. Help appreciated..Thanks!
You turn the camera through 90 degrees, and take the picture, that's it. If the resulting image is still in landscape then simply rotate it using pretty much any image editor/viewer.
Most modern digital cameras know which way they are oriented, so they should do the rotation automatically. I don't know your particular camera so no idea if it should be doing it itself.
