Anyone Know How This Happened?

Shot 5 photos today of a ship from my Mavic 3. As you can see 1 is vertical. Anyone know how this happened? Never saw that before.

It's obviously been shot normally.
The glitch is in whatever program is showing you those thumbnails.

Unlikely, The drone probably did it. either way it can just be rotated.

The Mavic 3 can only shoot images in landscape format.
There's no way it can rotate the camera to shoot in portrait format.

Not really sure but of course you can easily flip it in software

Without measuring, the image in question looks like it was shot in 16:9 aspect ratio. I believe the default is 4:3 as it is with the other images.

All of those images have the same pixel dimensions and all are 4:3 aspect ratio..

When you open the image which appears to be rotated, does it open that way, or as normal?

Rotated...I know I can easily flip it but I was just curious how it even happened.

Well if you pull some serious G's for a few seconds you could get something close to vertical!

The image was obviously shot in landscape.

The drone almost certainly labeled it with the wrong orientation
(in the EXIF metadata Rotate Photos to be Upright - Sirv Help Center).

I frequently experience this when shooting with a phone at a strange angle, the landscape image is labeled as portrait and displayed sideways in the file browser, just like you're seeing.
Was it windy? Could be there was a momentary gust that made the drone decide it's at an angle?

Isn't it obvious? Digital gremlins!
