Sending images to TV via HDMI during shoot - verticals don't display correctly

[peter_cohen]

<p>Finally figured out how to fix a 32" LCD TV that was lying in a corner for a year. Got a camera-to-TV HDMI cable and used the big display during a studio session. Much faster display than shooting tethered to a 15" laptop, not to mention the increased size. It was all great until I rotated the camera to portrait position and the images were displayed sideways on the TV. I tried changing the image rotation setting in the menu on my D7000, but it didn't make any difference (or I messed something up along the way).</p>

<p>Is this just the nature of the beast or is there a way to get portrait (vs landscape orientation) views to display correctly on the TV?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Turn the TV on its side.</p>

<p>You know, it's often the simplest ideas that are the best. That will certainly get rid of the discomfort in my neck.</p>
