    Hello, I am never going to use Open Camera in portrait mode so I wanted to lock the GUI to landscape regardless of my system setting. Note that despite having my phone orientation locked, Open Camera still rotates between portrait and landscape.

    There is an option to lock the video and photo orientation but not the GUI itself which is what I'm looking for. Thanks!

      "I am never going to use Open Camera in portrait mode"

      You most certainly will.

      The behaviour was different, a few version back then. Now the behaviour is correct and proper, like all cameras have behaved since the day zero.

      Just shoot in landscape, Open Camera automatically provides for you what you are asking for, regardless of the state of device rotation.

        The problem is the UI is lagging when I happen to hold the phone upright whereas if it is locked to landscape, it will not lag switching back and forth between portrait and landscape as I'm moving around. I'm using it as an action camera of sorts

          Try Settings/"Camera API" set to "Camera2 API", if not already set? (This should allow the orientation change to be quicker/smoother.)

    I need to force a series of photos to remain the same orientation whether or not the software thinks they fit nicely that way up. I am taking overhead photographs of a physical photograph album and there are so many I need to take that I really don't want to be rotating them in a photo editing application later. So I want them in the same orientation they appeared in the preview. Is there a way?
