Horizontal vs portrait

[chief]

I was taking photos for my website and had camera on tripod, close up setting, pointing down at object. when i checked photos they were in horizontal image, i then had to change battery, removed camera from tripod re atached same way/position and took more photos and when i checked those they were in the portrait/verticle image, I changed no settings put camera in exact same position. why did it change orientation from horizontal to portrait/vertica?

it is a big deal I need all images in horizontal orientation for my website, in verticle leaves out some of what I am taking image of.  Bigger issue is why does it change, camera is in same position over the 25 images first two are in horizontal then i changed battery reattached camera in exactly same postion next image is verticle, then 5 in correct horizontal format then the rest verticle  Why? Thanks

Am I missing something here? The way the camera elects to display the pictures has nothing to do with what it actually saw. So how can anything get "cut off"? When you put the pictures up on your Web site, simply position them in the orientation you intended, rather than the one the camera assumed. or deduced, to be correct.

Robert is correct, nothing got cut off. You simply need to rotate the pictures before posting them. What you saw in the viewfinder or on the LCD is all still there.
