In Swift you should do this:

    videoOutput = AVCaptureVideoDataOutput()
    videoOutput!.setSampleBufferDelegate(self, queue: dispatch_queue_create("sample buffer delegate", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL))

    if captureSession!.canAddOutput(self.videoOutput) {
        captureSession!.addOutput(self.videoOutput)
    }

    videoOutput!.connectionWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo).videoOrientation = AVCaptureVideoOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown

It works perfectly for me!
