Platforms Affected

• iOS
• Android
• Web

Current Behavior

After turning the device from landscape to portrait, the wrong modes are used when taking a photo.

Before taking the photo:

(portrait mode)

Result after taking the photo:

(portrait mode)

Expected Behavior

Where a photo is taken in portrait mode, the photo must also be taken and saved as portrait. This does not appear to be the case at the moment.

Project Reproduction

Seems to depend on what kind of hardware/device is used.

Reproduction added because it is required:
test-case.zip
(Newest versions used with reproduction. Use 'npm i' for installing the packages and 'ng serve' to run the application.)

Additional Information

The hardware/software used to reproduce the problem:

Surface Book 3
Windows 11 Pro

This issue needs more information before it can be addressed. In particular, the reporter needs to provide a minimal sample app that demonstrates the issue. If no sample app is provided within 15 days, the issue will be closed.
Please see the Contributing Guide for how to create a Sample App.
Thanks! Ionitron 💙

[Aareonick]

We need some time to request a surface book from system management, to install a development environment on it and then see whether the problem can be reproducible on it so that we can deliver this code/reproduction to you.

However, we think that the problem depends on the hardware used and not the software setup.

Added reproduction.
