Does VR work in both Landscape and Portrait orientation?

Guys,

Sorry, I checked the back postings and couldn't find the answer to this...

Does VR work in both Landscape and Portrait orientation of the camera? For some
reason I thought it only functions in Landscape.

Thanks - sorry if a repeat Q.

Assuming that its the same as Canon's IS system, it compensates for movement on both the X and Y axis, meaning yes, it will work in portrait orientation.

 

Michael, it even works if you hold the camera upside down or on an angle.

 

It works just fine.

I believe the only exception is when panning. I recall reading that the panning detector only works with the camera horizontal. If you pan with the camera vertical, the VR motion may get jerky.
