KDL-40NX703 - Picture (jpg) orientation

Whenever I show pictures on the BRAVIA, either via USB or Windows media server, portrait pictures are not shown in the correct orientation. Even when they are saved on the USB or computer the right way around.

Any ideas?

Hi The short of it is that Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer doesn't correctly show the orientation of the picture -- but it lets you rotate the picture so it looks right.  What results is that your picture looks right in windows explorer.

However, it's actually now wrong.  Software and websites that respect the EXIF settings will "correct" the orientation, leaving you with results that you didn't expect.  Use a search engine and look for "Fix EXIF to make rotated photos look correct’ you will find lots of information about how this can be done and what is required.
