With "olds" digitals camera (not only Olympus), the EXIF version do not support the orientation field, then you can not use auto-rotate from exif under XnView or others softs that supports this function.
In this case you can manually do by hand, in "Tools"\" JPEG lossless transformation" \ "rotate 90° right" or left or ...
And under tools\options\browser\misc.\
change exif orientation(if possible) = on
use lossless orientation when (if possible) for jpeg = on

I think that your exif Orientation field always stays at "top-left (1)" in all cases !
NO ????

Just for info:

Yes, i believe that orientation is same top-left for all images. As far i undrstand that i must manualy rotate images of my camera because it lack orientation sensor or something. Thens anyway for help.

Yes your camera problably does'nt have a mercury orientation sensor, and you have to do this orientation by hand (lossless is better).
