I have a D70 from a week ago, really wonderfull, highly recommended, but I would like to ask other owners if they found this problem:

If you chose to see images rotated (play menu, default option) and to auto-rotate images (user option menu, not the default option), then you see images rotated on LCD, but when you zoom in, you only see a vertical stripe of photo leaving to wide zones left and right black, and the miniature doesn't show the right place of the magnified zone. weird!

Another think I have investigated, is the -0.5EV underexposition usual in D100 and D70: it seems that it follows some new standard recomendation, and can be "solved" by uploading a tone curve using Picture Capture, that upper lighting by +0.5EV avoiding bursts in the highlights and flat dark zones.

More info and curves here:

I think what it happening is that it stays in that mode (rotating portraits the right way) and the bars on the right and left stay to compensate. would make sense for it to expand, but it may be a software thing.

I have read some stuff on those custom curves. I have not loaded up the Nikon Capture yet to try it. I have read, but not seen if it overwrites one of the other profiles in the carea. And won't it only work on MAS or P?
