Problem with 5n: auto orientation of pictures

[WT21]

I have a 5n (new to me), but I have an odd issue: auto-orientation of pictures.

At first, no portrait oriented photos were auto-oriented. That is, when imported into Lightroom, they were sideways. I thought "that's odd, not to have orientation in such a camera" but then I remembered sometimes systems use the IS in the lens, and I have a legacy lens. But, on a walk this am, some pictures DID come out oriented correctly. I did a quick google search, and found references to an "orientation sensor" issue on the 5n.

Is this something anyone has seen before?

My 5N works fine.

You seem to be having a lot of problems with your 5N. Might pay to check the firmware on yours...

Here's a 200 page 5N handbook, might pay to brush up on that too
