I think you talking about the Exif auto-rotate option in Metadata setup...

About Camera interface, there is a specific setting in dialog ! Are you enable 
this one ? Also, Exif autorotate only works on JPEG image actually.

There is a lot of debug message in the console if you have compiled digiKAm 
using ./configure --enable-debug=full option...

Not necessary. Start to report these informations into the ML. Also give us a 
file sample from your camera, especially in vertical orientation. Do not post 
on ML but make a web link. Thanks in advance
