Just thinking, it would be nice if camera had auto orientation, it’s frustrating to have to unlock the orientation to have landscape/portrait mode if it’s, well, locked
Android on the same sony had it and even my very old windows phone…

Yes, Auto orientation on/off should be permanently in the camera’s GUI and independent of the phones orientation settings.

What a good suggestion this is!
I just tested this on my partner’s iPhone and as one might expect, locked orientation doesn’t affect the iPhone camera app. Likewise, Advanced camera on SFOS isn’t affected by the orientation lock.
Even if other OSes / apps didn’t handle the orientation lock as they do, I would still find this suggestion to be the logical way to go about it.

I’m feeling a bit stupid here…
What’s the point? For the UI elements? Metadata?
For automatic portrait or landscape mode of course…
OK. Doesn’t that happen anyhow if you tilt your camera 90 degrees??? It does on mine.
Rephrasing: We want to be able to have the orientation of the photo (metadata) to follow gravity or fixed and selectable. These options accessible from within the camera app. No matter what the display settings is…

So it’s about Metadata. Got it.

Almost a year has passed and this is still not even taken into consideration
Please do this as it’s becoming frustrating to say the least, even for someone like me who almost does no photos at all 
Is it really that hard to use the top menu action to unlock orientation?
I think there is far more important features to fix. 
That’s that i do, and yesis too difficult to do, as it’s really the basic
And yes i know, i have other bugs too like a damn frustrating bluetooth, but you know, at least camera orientation should be easily doable by jolla
