Autorotate question

If I remember correctly, the camera can set a flag that tells how to rotate the image. LRC honours that flag.
 
When importing (or after importing) can LR automatically rotate photos as necessary? That means, right or left or bottom to top?

The camera sets a tag in the file header indicating the top corner of each photo as oriented by the camera when the shutter clicked. Lightroom automatically honors this orientation indicator as set by the camera. You can manually rotate the image in Lightroom to reset the orientation indicator in the LrC catalog metadata.

there is no AI in LrC that determines what should be the top based on image content. And, as Clee01 and Hal siad the camera supplied info about which way the camera was oriented when shot. if a lot of your images are not top side up when you import them, look for a setting in your camera to assure that it is enabled.

To fix images that don't hat the top on top, in the grid, select a bunch that are all incorrect in the same way (e,g. all need to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise), and with them all selected use the rotate buttons to turn them and they'll all be changed the same way.
 
Hint: When needed, I find the Painter Tool useful to 'spray' rotation on many images while in Grid view.
