Hi, I've just joined photo.net. I bought a Nikon D300 a couple of months ago and have a question on the same topic (transferring from camera to computer), but a different issue. I simply want to be able to transfer my pictures to my computer with those photographed vertically rotated automatically.
In the Setup Menu on the D300 I have set Auto Image Rotation 'On' and USB to 'M/P' (I have also tried 'MSC'), then used Nikon Transfer and in ViewNX the pictures are rotated correctly, which is fine. However when I view them on my hard drive with MS Explorer they are actually still stored horizontally. From there I select the best and upload to my travel blog.
I know I can rotate them in Explorer (one by one) and some other programs automatically in batch mode (but it takes ages and is an additional time-consuming task I can do without) but I am on a 1 year trip and transferring thousands of photos a month so it's just not practical.
Can somebody please help - am I overlooking something or doing something wrong, or is there some other software I can use that will automatically transfer and rotate photos to their correct orientation on my computer in the one process.
