I have this bizarre issue. When I shoot images in portrait I don't get any RAW information with my images, however if the image is shot in landscape mode then I can see the RAW files. Is it mean to be like this or is it a setting with the camera? I'm not sure if this is me being stupid or the camera doing what it's meant to be doing.

Thanks.
 
:'( Does the camera know which way you are holding it?
 
What do you mean, you get no RAW information......?
If you mean on the preview (review screen) on your camera, is Auto-Rotate turned on or off (try the opposite).
Also, use the info button to cycle through the various modes while reviewing a shot :)
 
It's strange. I took my camera to work and hooked it up with the iMac. I use a MacBook Pro at home. When I viewed the image files all the portrait ones had a different file extension. All the landscape ones with just .jpg

I can't remember what the other file extension was though. When I opened the portrait ones up the Photoshop RAW software opened up before opening the file in Photoshop. The landscape ones opened up straight in Photoshop without it asking me to edit the RAW information.
 
Then the landscape ones weren't in RAW if they went straight into photoshop. Sounds like they were in JPEG.

Was the file extension of the other ones .CR2 perhaps?
 
.CR2 is Canon RAW.

I'll bet 50p that the portrait / landscape thing is just a coincidence, and that the ones you couldnt open were RAW, and the ones you could, were JPEG.

Dont forget CS2 needs an update to read 400D Raw files :)
 
Interesting. Thanks for the help and suggestions :) I'll keep an eye on it to see if it happens again. It might have been me messing around with the camera settings too. I'm using CS3 btw.
 
I usually shoot all my images in Manual mode but I can't remember with those images. I also can't remember which images those were. It's something that came back into my memory when I was looking through some images.
 
Thanks Fiona. I think I'm going to have to revisit the manual to see if this is a feature of the camera or something. I can't say I've noticed it occurring again recently. In fact this was the one and only time and it was on my work machine rather than the one I use at home with the camera on a regular basis.
