Why can't I take a Portrait shot on my Note 2

[SHIVA77]

I am sure I have a wrong setting somewhere, but I can't find it. Using either the stock camera or an app such as CameraZoom with the screen tilt lock unchecked, my Note II will not take a portrait shot. Every time I hold the phone in portrait mode the camera just shows me a sliver of an image, sideways, in landscape. Like it trying to fit a landscape image in portrait.

Any ideas?
