ABSTRACT:
A digital camera comprises a controller and an image sensor that digitally captures an image. The camera also includes an orientation sensor, such as a mercury switch, that that indicates orientation of the image sensor whenever an image is captured. When capturing an image, the controller is configured to format the image in a way that it will be correctly oriented when displayed. In one embodiment, the camera automatically rotates the digital image to correct for different orientations of the camera.
