In older Nikon DSLRs like the D70 there was an option to not add image rotation information to the EXIF data of the image. I can't find this option in a D7000. Can anyone please confirm that it is not available anymore or where I can find it?

I'm curious why you wouldn't want this there. It's so convenient, and you can always either ignore it or batch-rotate based on the tag. – mattdm Mar 30 '11 at 21:16
+1 to MattDM. Also, if you want this meta data out, then you may want other meta data out too. In that case, some meta data stripping tool might be better. – Tristan Mar 30 '11 at 23:32
It's a matter of the workflow. My personal collection of digital images goes back till the early 2000th and at that time I had no camera capable of auto rotation. For me, it is better to have all images in the same "format". – Sebi Mar 31 '11 at 18:39

I don't want auto rotate either, because I shoot a series at 45° angle of the camera and believe me you don't want to have alternating pictures :( – user7174 Nov 5 '11 at 13:23
@Ivo, thanks! That's a great reason that hadn't occurred to me. – mattdm Nov 7 '11 at 4:24

It is there, in the Setup menu (the one with the wrench/spanner icon). It's called Auto Image Rotation, and it comes between 'Image Content' and 'Image Dust Off ref photo'.

No, that's 'Rotate Tall' in the Playback Menu. Essentially, Rotate Tall rotates images that have their orientation recorded by Auto Image Rotation. Simple eh? :) – ElendilTheTall Mar 30 '11 at 20:33
Ah, nice. I retract my comment. – Evan Krall Mar 31 '11 at 3:20
Ok, now I found it. The German translation was somehow unexpected :-) Mmmh, I think Nikon should really restructure the menu points. There are 3 different points where you define how pictures are taken. Doesn't make a lot of sense. – Sebi Mar 31 '11 at 18:38
Indeed, evidently they need an injection of Teutonic efficiency! :) – ElendilTheTall Mar 31 '11 at 18:47
