Video plays upside down

DB76 — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:51:30 GMT

Hey there, I've just tried to film video for the first time on my Z3 and it plays back upside down or in the wrong orientaton! At first I assumed I had the phone upside down when filming but no, everything is fine as I film and then upside down on playback no matter which app I use to view it. I also can't find any editing tools on said apps to flip it. Photographs, however, are fine. Does anyone know how to fix it?!

Could you elaborate, if you record on landscape, the video will be shown on landscape even if you hold the phone on portrait mode.

If I use the 'Movie' or 'Photo' app then it's just upside down. It orientates correctly and the orientation rotates accordingly but it's always upside down.

The weird thing is that VLC seems to know to autocorrect this...

when you record videos on landscape is the power button on top of the phone or facing the floor?

The lens, power button and camera button are all at the top and the writing on the on-screen buttons is readable without standing on my head!

how about

settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart your phone

instead of camera, movies
