*ist D doesn't have an orientation sensor however the Pentax Photo Browser 
software auto-rotates 300D images :-(

ThumbsPlus 7 also auto-rotates, unfortunately the colour space (CS) information 
isn't embedded in the files though so even though the application is colour 
managed the only way you can see images shot in AdobeRGB CS correctly is to set 
the working CS to AdobeRGB which stuffs everything else without an embedded CS 
(which is generally assumed to be sRGB).
