Ive searched, probably not hard enough.
Importing Raw files into LR, NEFs, and the images shot in portrait orientation are not being automatically rotated after import.
Ive looked for a reason and can not find anything, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't believe you can turn this off/on in LR. LR automatically rotates to portrait if the EXIF data reports that is how it was shot. It may be that you don't have the Auto Rotate selected in you camera menu. If not selected, it may not write the orientation data to EXIF, therefore not automatically change in LR.
There are typically 2 settings in the camera to rotate the image. One for the camera LCD (Rotate Tall) and the other for image display (Auto Image Rotation as mfletch said)
Right there in the D700 is Auto Image Rotation, just click yes and it will then work fine. I am an idiot.
Please continue with the normally scheduled program.
