G2 - Pictures rotated compared to LCD Display

[Rodney Morris]

I've had my G2 for a couple weeks and so far i'm really impressed. So far as I can tell there are no noticable dead/hot pixels and i've taken a few hundred pictures since I got the camera.

This is my 1st Digital Camera so it could be my inexperience of using the LCD Display to frame pictures however I am finding on a significant number of shots the final picture is rotated 1.2 degrees clockwise compared to the view within the LCD Display.

This is of course only noticable on certain shots where there are vertical/horizontal objects present and since it is "fixable" within PhotoShop I'm not sure its worth seeking a replacement.

Has anybody else noticed this ?
Thanks
Rodney

Have you considered the possibility that you're moving the camera when you press the shutter release? The rotation amount and direction seem about right for that. An easy test to make sure would be to brace the camera flat against a vertical wall, take a shot, and see what you get.

Or a tripod. Good point, though. I have the devil of a time keeping the horizon level with my S100, the thing's so tiny and light (plus I'm using the viewfinder most of the time anyway) Doesn't seem to happen as much with the G2, though.
