or Capture NX 2 verson 2.1.0 or later (available separately; pg. 368).
The following orientations are recorded:

this option when taking photographs with the lens pointing up or
down.

Auto Image Rotation
In continuous mode (pg. 74), the orientation recorded for the first shot
applies to all photographs in the same burst, even if camera orientation is
changed during shooting.

To automatically rotate “tall” (portrait-orientation) photographs for
display during playback, select [On] for the [Rotate tall] option in the
playback menu (pg. 251). Note that because the camera itself is already in
the appropriate orientation during shooting, images are not rotated
automatically during image review (pg. 205).
