Upside Down Photos

Hi

For the last few days i've realised that my Z3 appears to be taking photos upside down and that the menus in the camera app itself are not rotating with the screen,

Is there a way to fix this?

Auto rotate for the screen is on.

Hi

Thanks for the response. I have carried out the steps listed below and the result is the same sadly.

You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.

Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).

Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

I have just sorted this problem. I tried all the things said here and none of them worked. In the end, I disabled the standard camera and downloaded a HD camera app from the apps store for free and now all works as they should. It is the camera app that is dodgy, which must mean a system issue. That said, this is the latest in a catalogue of woes with this M5. Worst phone ever.
