I have a DS-2CD2142FWD-I with firmware version 5.4.4. I'm trying to use Rotate Mode (corridor mode?) (Hikvision USA) but I don't have the option to turn it on. Any ideas?

The point of rotate mode is so you can frame your shot at 9:16 instead of 16:9. In other words, I HAVE rotated the lens to frame a long corridor. But without software, I have to turn my head sideways to view it.So, since this is a dome, why not just go pull the dome and rotate the lens? I get it would be nice to figure out the "why" of the software issue, but for a quick fix just go pull the housing and turn it
reset the camera to factory default and try rotating it..The point of rotate mode is so you can frame your shot at 9:16 instead of 16:9. In other words, I HAVE rotated the lens to frame a long corridor. But without software, I have to turn my head sideways to view it.
If I rotated the lens back 90 degrees I'd only be looking at half of my subject. The photos in the hikvision link sort of illustrate this. Make sense?
