Portrait mode on iPad Pro 11"

I have a new iPad pro 11" I have tried taking a picture in portrait mode, but the camera only takes a selfie. I cannot find the button to switch to the rear camera? Does anyone else have this problem?

iPad Pro 11-inch, Wi-Fi, iOS 12.1

I have the iPad Pro 3rd gen 12.9.


Portrait mode on the iPad Pro 3rd generation only allow you to take a portrait of yourself using the front camera. You can not switch to back camera in portrait mode.

There are controls here for different lighting effects. For example, this one is using "Stage Light" which makes the background all black around you.
