It only encodes orientations that result from rotation around the axis perpendicular to the line of sight (in other words, the rotations that can be reversed by display software). Parent was asking about the orientation with camera above the subject pointing directly down. I don't think EXIF can encode that -- there's no reason to, since display software has no way to reverse it.
