<p>An apparatus (30) for automatically determining the orientation of a digital camera (20) while a picture is being taken, and for storing the captured digital image (36) in memory (34) according to the orientation of the camera, such that the digital image is displayed (10) in the correct orientation when viewed using an image manipulation program. The apparatus (30) includes a switch device (32) for sensing the orientation of the digital camera (20), circuitry for supporting the operation of the switch, and software for writing the data corresponding to a captured digital image (36) to memory (34) in the correct orientation based on the output (46) of the switch device. <IMAGE></p> |
