Bug Report

Problem

I have an Android tablet (Zebra ET51 with android 10)I. If I have the tablet in landscape mode and take a picture, the picture is upside down. If I have the tablet in portrait mode and take a picture, the picture is 90 degrees rotated. In the preview in the camera app everything looks fine, but when I accept the photo and return to my cordova app, the picture is rotated. This only occurs with the camera on the back. The camera on the front is working fine.

What is expected to happen?

I expect the photo to be oriented as in the preview of the camera app.

What does actually happen?

The photo is 90 or 180 degrees rotated

navigator.camera.getPicture(

I reported this to Zebra for a TC21. It was a bug in their camera app - it wasn't correctly adding exif orientation metadata to the image. They fixed it, but presumably not for all their devices if you're having trouble with a different model.

Hi, I have the same problem for smartphones with Android 13. How can I do?

correctOrientation must be set to true
