[5.7.2] Pictures saved as "Right top instead of "Left top" even when holding phone in landscape mode #456

Closed Shohreh closed 5 months ago

Hello,

I just installed Simple Camera 5.7.2 through F-Droid on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 phone.

Even when holding the phone horizontally, it still tags the picture as "Right top", just like it does when holding the phone vertically.

I have to use this command to change the Orientation tag to "Left top": exiftool.exe "-orientation#=1" input.jpg -m -P -o output.jpg (1 = Horizontal (normal) )

Did I miss it, or there's no item in the app's Settings section?

Thank you.


Edit: I think I found the bug. If I start the app with the phone held vertically (ie. portrait), turn it 90% to the left (ie. landscape) and take a picture, it is set as "Left Top" as expected. If I start the app with the phone already held horizontally and take a picture, it's wrongly set as "Right Top".

Alternatively, if you were holding the phone horizontally when launching the app, first turn it 90% vertically, and then 90% back horizontally so SC can tell and set the Orientation key correctly.
