Hi! Not sure what's going on, but my portrait-oriented images are being imported horizontally ( landscape orientation), so it's taking up time to rotate them. Never used to have this issue. This is a real pain for wedding editing! Anyone know how to have Lightroom automatically import the images as shot? Thank you!!

Mac or Windows? Which version of the OS?

Which exact version of Lightroom?

Which camera?

The picture orientation is stored in the EXIF data. If the pictures are coming directly from the camera, the EXIF data should still be there. (Some web sites like to strip it out.)

If the camera is pointed close to straight up or straight down, the camera's orientation sensor can often get confused.
