Iphone camera captures reverse images sometimes - anyone else?

When I brought up the Apple standard camera app today, the image displayed on the screen was reverse color. I took a few pics and quit the app and tried again - still reverse color. I shook the phone (getting a little PO'd) and voila, the camera went back to normal colors. Anyone else experience this ? Any ideas of the cause?
Thanks

Hi Bill,

You can try restoring the iPhone to rule out software issues but it sounds like the iPhone needs hardware repair.

This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through restoring the iphone.

To get the iPhone repaired, just make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.
