In terms of left=left and right=right ..
the main/back camera works as expected ..but when it comes to the secondary/front camera, here's what my result is:
normal mode is actually "flipped/mirror"..meaning if you raised your left hand -->> picture actually shows right hand ..etc
and when switching to "flip" mode ... it acts accordingly ... left = left and right = right..but only when you have the device sideway to landscape ... if you hold it normally .. picture is upside down ..etc
Better yet, ... write out a word and view it with the front camera in both modes & you will get a clearer explanation of what I was trying to explain above
This is coming from "desktop webcam" point of perspective .... because with webcam, what you "noted" will read out normally ...
Imagine "video conferencing" and things do not read the "correct way"
or taking self portrait and the message is backward ...
what's up with that ??
almost 200 views ... yet, nobody has confirmed this bug ??
I'll take from the silence that we are all experiencing the same thing then !!
holler if you found a solution
I don't know, a face is a face. I just checked this bug out using the camera app, Very Interesting!;
I set it to Camera2, my face was a mirror image, I held a text card and yes the text was reversed.
I set it to Camera2 Flipped, my face was "normal", text was readable.
Here's what's ODD, in the Camera2 setting, if I "barrel rolled" rotated the camera 360 degrees while watching the monitor, My face was always upright!
If I set it to "Camera2 Flip" and rotated the camera, my image rotates upside down as the camera rotates.
That's different!
Hmm, just saw this and tried it. At first when I went to the camera options there were only the options main camera and 2nd camera (flip) so I hit that one and everything was reversed then I hit the camera button again and the option for 2nd camera without the (flip) was there and that one works the way it's supposed to.
basically what I'm saying is ...
If you ever have a video conference and the need for written words happen .. things are going to be all backward ..etc .. other then that ... the video is mirror in "normal mode"
and when it's in "flip mode" ... you're upside down at all times except when the unit is landscape position.
The camera should acted the same as your desktop webcam though ... where written message are seen as they should be seen ... the normal "readable" way !!!
Hi
This is how you see it of course at your end. A mirror image is normally more natural to look out when you are watching your image as a preview as we are used to seeing ourselves as a mirror image.
What is being sent to the person the other end, it probably isn't a mirror image but as you would expect. My webcam works in exactly this way, I can choose the type of preview image I see but this doesn't alter what the recipient sees.

Phil
Totally right. I don't think this is a bug.

Just click on the camera ICON, you will toggle from back, front(mirror), front(normal) and all your confusions will go away.
Unrelated yet related question...
Curious about a security app that possibly exists/could be written involving the front camera option. Is there any way that, unbeknowst to the "user", the front camera could capture their image and automatically e-mail it to the address that is associated with the phone's owner's personal information? Should someone, other than the true owner, pick up the phone and attempt to login, perhaps after the second failed password entry, this app could engage. [If it's just the true owner being forgetful, then they get an e-mail of themselves looking silly.] If the device is stolen, then the true owner at least has something to go on.
Better still, have the app automatically run as the last thing the device does before a soft-reset. If stolen, I have to imagine that the first thing the thief would do is reset the device. [Again, if it's the owner performing the re-set, no harm done]
Further - Have the GPS send along the location of the device at the moment the picture is taken.
I've searched and read (and read and read) but haven't found a solution to this. Maybe I've missed it. If so, please point me in the right direction.
I upgraded my new Tilt with Dutty's Diamond V1 (WM6.1) ROM. It has a new camera (v 5.04, build 29195) installed. When running, I can take pictures just fine. However, when I click on the right-pointing arrow in the lower-left corner, it's supposed to link me over to the photo album but all I get is a black screen. At this point, I can press on the "windows" button and launch Today where I can see that the album has launched and is running, but when I select it, I only see a black screen.
Is there a fix for this?
i got the same issue
your camera works fine? where are the photos saving to?
The camera works fine. I can save the pictures to either the device or the storage card - both work.
Some pix
Just so it's clear, I'm posting a couple of pictures. I used MyMobiler to capture the screens which, unfortunately, does not capture the camera image in the first frame.
The first frame shows the screen (sans what my camera was seeing). The red circle highlights the "Album" button.
When pressed, I get what you see in the second - nothing but black. The phone's not locked up, however. It's just not displaying anything. No album - nothing.
And finally, in the third screen, you see that both Camera and Album are running. Album was launched, apparently, by the screen tap in the Camera application but doesn't seem to quite get it right when launched this way.
Ideas?
so you have a black screen when using camera, but it still takes pictures, if that is the case try another radio.

its not a radio problem. i think it has something to do with a broken album link in the camera application. im looking for a solution as well, as i am having the exact same problem on my own cooked rom

No. I don't have a black screen when using the camera. I see things just fine when using the camera. Works just like you'd expect. What you're seeing above in the first pic is an artifact of the screen capture program.
The anomalous behavior begins when trying to launch the album from inside the camera application. That's when the screen goes black.
My initial thinking was as mbarvian has floated - a bad link or some bad parameter passed from inside the camera app. I was hoping that this could be fixed with a registry edit, actually, but couldn't find a registry key that offered promise.
(BTW, I tried re-flashing the ROM but that didn't fix the problem. Just another data point to consider.)
So, nobody has a solution? Are others seeing this or just the two of us who have posted? I guess it's just something we live with until the day it's fixed?
Same problem same ROM...
when i had windows 6.0 i went on the htc website and downloaded 3 hot fixes for my phone ,then when i updated to the orange 6.1 version of win mobile i had the same problem as you ,( black screen on camera ) anyway i uninstalled the hot fixes ( they are not required on 6.1 version ) camera is now ok
Also, same problem... same rom.

Well, if it can't be fixed, I may as well have a laugh over it, eh?

Yours may be slightly different than mine. I don't really get a black screen on the camera - only when I launch the album viewer from inside the camera application.
The "same issue - same ROM" responses at least give me a measure of affirmation that there is a known unresolved issue. For now, I'll just manually launch the album from the launcher where it seems to work, and avoid using the call from the camera app.
maybe using advanced config. and making sure the photos are saving to My Pictures might help

Set to that by default already. Tried swapping it to DCIM just to see what happened but that didn't work either.
camer w/black screen
after upgrading tilt to wm 6.1, my camera takes photos, but the screen is black, no preview, until AFTER taking the photo, then it appears briefly. is there a CAB fix for this. please help
I think it may have something to do with the version of the camera fix. I noticed the problem this weekend after updating to the ATT Official 6.1 ROM. Installed a newer version of Nadavi HTC Camera and when i went into the camera all I can see was a black screen. I'm using 5_0_4_2915 which seems to have corrected the problem for me.
where can i get this version that you tried? i am having the same problem
Today I got this strange thing happening with my screen when sliding keyboard. I dont know how to explain so I uploaded video on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az00qkB3k2M
You can see some kind of waves,and it's only happening when I load some of coocked in themes and only in homescreen.As you can see it doesnt show when I'm in programs or some aplication or when I put some diferent theme.
Does anyone know what might be the problem. I flashed several ROMs today and shame s..t was there. Thanks
Either youtube is too lame to show of the "waves" or i can't see them.
Acutally... i found it pretty fast
i've got the same problem - well... not that it's a problem to me.
i just wanted to ask what ROM are you on? screen rotation is fast
Yaeh some special tweaking + super fast ROM from 888 he dumped the HT's ROMeOS. Anyway,its not perfect video but you can see on the center of the screen,its driving me crazy.
You sure you don't have something inbetween the kaiser itself and the screen ?
Dirt or something?

I've got the samething. I 've always thought that something has been pressing the screen while sliding the keyboard out and it's probably more viisible on some colours like blue on your video
Yes,well said,its only there when its some light colour,but if I put some pic like wallpaper its gone. Im pretty sure that the space between is clear. I tried just to press backside of sliding part of screen like the area where sim card is and it trigger same behaviour

I guess your LCD is faulty. I bet if you send an MMS the image is displayed right to the receiver's phone. I've already seen quite some LCD with this colour rendering problem. The solution is a LCD replacement. Also there are some displays sold on eBay as new that have the same problem. On a Touch Viva I owned i had to replace it 4 times before receiving a fully functional LCD!!
To be sure, you can try to install in your phone MyMobiler and then sync with your PC: if you see a difference between the phone colours and those displayed on your PC monitor, it's definitely a faulty LCD.
Also if you like to post a screenshot i'm able to recognise this kind or defect.
Bye
Weird stuff..
I changed my 1rst One because i suppose the camera sensor was faulty, all my pics in good day conditions was like that:
