Thanks for the support here. To answer some of the questions here:

the function use to work fine for years. only very recently it shows this strange behavior?

I'm right handed so I use to have the release button in the top when shooting portrait mode. Thats when the picture is upside down now. When I have the release button in the bottom - the picture is displayed correct. so that would be a work around - however  that is not very ergonomic for me to hold the camera.

I tried the soft reset, a full factory reset and taking the battery out short and long (long enough that the camera moved back in time all the way to 2011) - no joy.

without knowing the insides at all - my layman guess is that the rotation sensor somehow stuck? I'm not sure if this is even possible form a technical point of view?

I, too will turn off the auto rotation for now and do it manually in post.

THX again for your support!

Bernhard
