Camera is taking pictures upside down

Same problem here. Camera right side up taking vertical pictures displays the photos upside down in the camera roll.

Has anyone else experiencing this issue downladed the lightsaber application? I noticed this issue after installing an update to the app that was supposed to flip the light saber upside down when the phone was reversed. Don't know if it has anything to do with the upside down picture issue - but thought it was worth asking.

My phone has the same problem. After a reset it works fine, but if it sleeps for 30 seconds or more, the accelerometer wrongly indicates that the phone is pointing downwards.

A lot of people with this problem have had their phone replaced, but I'm hopeful a firmware update can fix it. 2.0.1 was released today, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

I am having the same issue. After I reboot my iPhone, it properly takes pictures, but at some point it starts taking them upside down.

This is strange.

So when you're holding the phone with the sleep/wake button pointing skywards, and then tilt the phone to the right, and take a picture, they appear upside down? If so, that is definitely the correct way to take landscape photos, so I would take it into your local store so somebody can have a look at the problem for you.

I am having the exact same issues. I reboot my iPhone and it works fine; however, it goes back to taking pictures upside down. I am not sure if it's related to the third-party apps that use the camera, but my wife's iPhone seems to be working fine. Don't know I will be calling Apple regarding this. Hopefully I can still exchange the phone at the AT&T store. I have a couple of more weeks before my first month is up.

I am having the same issue. I have also noticed when the camera is taking pictures upside down, the auto-rotate has also stopped functioning (in Safari, Photos, and iPod). I think the two are related. I took this screen shot of an empty camera roll demonstrating that the camera button remains upside down and does not properly rotate (http://www.twitpic.com/5zdp). I would like a better answer than rebooting. This is happening daily.

Same problem here... upside down picures...reset via itunes... now I have no contacts...I'm immediatly unimpressed by this phone... starting to regret the choice to purchase.. maybe better to wait until they get the product working properly before buying? Any help getting my contacts back?

Shouldn't you be tilting the camera to the left so that the sleep/wake button is on the left when you take landscapes?

Sorry yes, that's what I meant. The camera should be at the TOP of the phone, whichever orientation you're taking pictures with.
