Is everyone else finding that all the images and video from their iphones are upside down, when taken with the volume buttons at the top of the phone in landscape mode (as is the new feature)? Using Windows 7, iPhone4S (running iOS5, of course).
iPhone 4, iOS 5
The problem is with the photo metadata. iPhone is smart when it takes photos, it detects which way the screen is oriented and gives the photo a label like 'Orientation: Left'. Newer photo viewers will read this and re-orientate the photo so that the photo looks the same as the way the photo was taken.
Older photo software does not look for this orientation cue. That software just takes the photo as-is and displays it. This is why software such as Microsoft Office 2010 Picture Manager will show the photo as being upside-down but a newer version of Microsoft Explorer will show the photo thumbnail correctly.

All of my pictures are rotated 90 degrees to the left...
Yes, same thing here...video and pics upside down...I saved to a separate folder on desktop and I could flip some of them but not all...the pics that wouldnt flip kept giving me an error...I'm pretty upset about this...
Same here.. Apple needs to address this
I have a temp fix for this. After importing us "Microsoft Office Picture Manager". Select all the photos and rotate at one time. Hit the save button and it will save them all. You can't rotate them in the regular pic viewer by microsoft. Comes up with some kind of "properties error". For the video use Adobe Essentials. It will rotate video.

PS, Apple doesn't give a FLIP wheather it rotates on importing. They will make Microsoft come up with a fix. Even though I just looked it up and 92.5% of the worlds computers use WINDOWS.....
Images and video upside down in Windows?
