How to rotate a .CR3 image in DPP or elsewhere

[ThomasFiducia]

Hi, how do I rotate a .cr3 image?

Either using DPP or any other method would be ok.

I can rotate the thumbnail in DPP, by right-clicking on the thumbnail and clicking rotate, but it doesn't change the image orientation in windows file explorer even after saving (I exit out of DPP and it asks if I want to save the changes and I click yes). I know it that hasn't changed the image orientation because in windows file explorer you can add an 'orientation' tab that displays it. See the image below. I want too get them all back to normal rotation.

If I rotate a specific image in DPP and click save, it only lets me save as a jpeg or tiff but I want to keep it as a .cr3. This seems like it should be an easy thing to do, am I missing something? Please help! We have three EOS 90Ds in our lab and need to be able to sort out the image rotation.

When a camera looking straight down the orientation sensor is not consistent as you have found. 

The simplest fix is to turn off the auto rotation in the camera's auto rotate menu item. You will find this on the SET UP1 menu. If you set this to OFF then the images will all have the same rotation setting; horizontal.
