```

## Discussion

This property is initially set to [`ICEXIFOrientationType.orientation1`](/documentation/ImageCaptureCore/ICEXIFOrientationType/orientation1) If the format of the file supports the `EXIF` orientation tag, then this property updates to match the value of that tag on receipt of the thumbnail or metadata for this file.
