I just read the X-T1 owner's manual on the subject of panoramas and
decided that it's not possible to answer your question from the manual
alone. The manual specifically mentions viewing horizontal and vertical
panoramas in playback mode but that has to do with the direction of the
pano and not the orientation of the camera.
The manual describes the making of a pano as
1) set to pano mode
2) set the angle covered by each shot
3) choose a direction to move the camera
That implies that you must have a choice of 4 directions to produce
either a vertical or horizontal pano but what it does not say is that
those choices exist if the camera is held in portrait orientation. I
thought perhaps you could make the direction choice in landscape
orientation and then rotate to portrait but even that might not work.
The camera will terminate the pano if it detects what it thinks is
motion not relevant to requested pano. "Panning the camera in a
direction other than that shown cancels shooting."
I'll rate the probability that it will do it at 90%... simply because it
should. On the other hand, the manual gives absolutely no guidance on
the subject and only illustrates landscape orientation.

Does the fuji X100S/T and the X-T1 allow horizontal panoramas with the
camera turned in portrait mode, I seem to remember trying this on my
X-T1 but it not working but when looking at the specs I see the option
for vertical panoramas so wonder if it is possible.
My X-T1 won't be back to mid feb - not very happy with over a month turn
around so emailed fuji switzerland to tell them so and also sent a
message to fuji HQ in Japan, don't suppose it will do much good but it's
worth a try - I have seen in the UK turnaround is around a week, no idea
about the USA.
so still not decided what to do about my holidays as I really like
taking photos then and I seem to have lost interest in using the X-Pro1
after using the X-T1
Thanks Ian
