Hi all,
Having some issues with pictures being sideways in my camera album and with videos being turned sideways when trying to compress them to send by email. In the case of the pictures they will show sideways in the gallery thumbnails but will open right side up. I can't rotate them by hooking the phone up to my PC and accessing the SD Card through Windows (looks like I should have permission to modify but rotate is greyed out). Any of the photo editing apps I try on the phone itself show the pictures the right way up when I open them and even if I rotate it and try to save, they still stay the same way. I use the Ultimate Photo Widget and it always shows the pictures sideways and I would really like to fix them.
In regards to videos I am trying to get the same functionality as an iPhone where you can adjust the size before emailing. I have tried Video Compress, Video Shrink, Vidtrim and VidCon but they all seem to compress with varying degrees of success but it seems like no matter what I do the resulting videos have been turned sideways.
I am running Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.2 if that is helpful and greatly appreciate any insight you may be able to provide.
Thanks!

Pictures or videos I take are not automatically rotated. If I attempt to share something on twitter taken in portrait it is always 90 degrees to the left. Videos are the same way when viewed on the computer. I'm running froyo and thought this functionality existed in eclair? Does anyone have a fix or does this bother anyone else?
In you're notification drop down bar, the toggle is there for auto rotation

Pictures and video when viewed on the phone are always in the correct orientation. It's only when I try and share pictures and video that the orientation is wrong.
Pictures and video are never in the correct orientation when trying to share them. Whether it is via twitter or MMS, they are always rotated incorrectly. Videos which are taken in portrait and imported to the computer are always played back titled in landscape unless I rotate and re-encode, them which is a giant pain in the ass and leads me to believe the phone isnt correctly saving the rotational EXIF data. My iphone 3g did this stuff automatically, it should be a basic feature.
I'm using CM7 and everything works great other than when I take pictures (with stock or third party apps) my pictures are rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise from what they were shot at if I text them or upload them to windows. In gallery the pictures show up just fine and If I choose crop and re-save the picture it will correct the orientation issue. This is annoying and I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this.
I've searched the forums but I can only find one other mention of this with zero replies, so forgive me if this is a repeat.

Just a suggestion:
Maybe the EXIF data is broken.
There are (Windows) applications, such as Cam2PC, which read the EXIF data and can rotate the pictures according to the EXIF information while transferring them from the camera/smartphone to PC.
You may try it to see, if the EXIF data is still containing the right orientation information or not.
Good luck !
Anyone figured this out yet? My kids love the funny face effect but we can't seem to figure out the background effect. You choose one and it says to get out of view and put the Prime down. We've done that but when you pick the Prime back up to shoot the effect is only shown where the picture is dark or black. I don't get it. It's really no big deal but my kids love stuff like this.
Set up the prime where it can stand by itself (set it up where the background isn't moving). Then turn on the effect. Stay out of the view of the camera. Then go back into view after it displays the Image you chose on the screen and record yourself. Its not actively fun because you cant use it and see it at the same time. It acts as a green screen though. So its fun for music videos or little plays.
Edit:
You can also put it over your own videos in the pick your own video one so you could make a face to face with yourself video.
Also shadows will be interpreted as new objects and in turn not be "Green Screened" so pick an area where the is minimal shadows.
Thanks, I'll give that a try tonight.
So for example: I take a picture of a car then I press the picture icon in the lower right corner of the camera app, then the gallery app will show the car I've just taken up side down, or rotated clock-wise. What I have to do then is to rotate it left then right (or the other way) to get the picture in the correct orientation.
Has anyone had the same problem as I do? This and the homescreen keeps rebooting (due to lack of memory?) have been quite bugging me since I got the phone.
I'll be glad to hear if someone found a fix for these problems.
Try calibrating the gyro
Settings > Display > Gyroscope calibration
Do you think it could be the reason. Cause everything works fine for me, like video player, camera app, browsers...
Hmm, are you sure the camera was orientated correctly when you were taking the picture then? Because I remember this happening a few times on my old phone e.g. Phone orientated landscape when recording, then I record in portrait (yes I know this is a crime against society), then when you play it back it plays portrait in landscape mode and vice versa.

I'm having the same problem. Have you solved it?
I think the problem is that the S3 is using the value "rotation" in the exif, and the gallery act like this.
I tried to use the PC to donwload the photos and then I rotated it, and the problem was solved (The exif had changed too, because at the begining the size was wrong and had the "rotate value" to 90 and now i doesn't)
Thne problem is that the i9000 I think uses a diferent way of rename this exif option
It could be easier for samsung to change the resolution using the giroscopes values, and evaluate what is the with or what is the high
Hi,
i have a different rotation issue.
If i take pictures or videos in portrait format, the gallery on the phone will display everything correct, but every player in windows 7 doesn´t.
Why´s that?
thx, nearly
I have the same problem too
I think the problem is the way that the S3 makes the photos. It writes in the exif the size as if it where in horizontal way and writes 90 degrees as a coment. Maybe it is not a standard option, and maybe it the Galaxy S1 writes a more standarised coment (But now the S3 do not understand because the are using a diferent one)
So is there a fix for this?

I just found out, that the photos do alright if you use the normal 8mp setting. I had mine set to 16:9 and then rotation doesn't work on the PC.
For video, it just doesn't work. I just wonder what that greed out flipped-setting is supposed for.?

I just had the same thing happened to my s3,what i did was:
Turned off the phone
take the card out
backup the pictures to computer
add more pictures to backup folder in computer i got from different card (pictures taken with the same phone)
Add the new pictures to the 1st card
Now gallery shows pictures with wrong orientation, old ones and newly taken
I used a mac, there was an attempt made by iPhoto app to scan once the card is mounted but I don't think it modified anything
One thing i haven't looked into is if there's hidden indexing file being created in the card that throws off gallery.
If you have the fix please share.
My z5 compact rotates portrait pictures to landscape mode when posting then to Facebook, Instagram or Layout. Sharing them from Galleri or directly in the app makes no difference. Rotating a picture in Facebook, and when saved or/and accepted change it reverts back to landscape mode again. Shooting 20 mpx 16.9 in Auto. Tried turning Auto rotate on and off in settings, no change. Running stock. 152. Anyone else with this issue? Feels like a Sony bug as it happens in different apps...
Edit. With Gallery I meant Album app. Have Google Photo syncing my pics and the wrong rotation appears there to, but if I share pictures from Google Photo to Facebook corrections there works. Turning off the sync in Google Photo has no impact on the problem sharing from Album or directly in Facebook....
I have this problem too
Anybody else having that problem?
Yeah, having the same issue, but not every single picture taken exhibits the wrong orientation.
I did notice though that even though the UI elements in the camera rotate properly to portrait, the APP itself is in landscape. You can tell from the way the nav buttons are turned sideways when you swipe up from the bottom.
I've cleared the cache but it hasn't fixed it.
Turning on Auto-Rotate doesn't change anything either.
If any of you have a Sony Forum account, it's probably worth reporting.

Same issue here. Another not so wonderful thing about this camera.
