I have an LG V10, but for front facing photos I prefer Open Camera because it doesn't include the "beautify" option as always on like the stock camera.

However, I notice that all images are flipped as a mirror image after the photo is taken. Is there an option to turn this off?

    The normal behaviour - at least in phones I've used - is that the preview will be flipped (I.e., as if you are looking at a mirror), but the photo itself won't be (so it'll be as if the camera was turned round to face you). Can I clarify what behaviour you're seeing? It's on my to-do to add more controls for this.

    On LG cameras (G4 and onward), there is a setting that has an image of two faces that sort of look like the Easter Island heads. When the faces are facing opposite each other, you get a mirror effect so the "selfie" is flipped horizontally. When they are facing the same way, it doesn't flip, and appears exactly like it does on the screen.

    OpenCamera definitely needs a "Save as Flipped" functionality. Think about it this way, when a person takes a selfie, they want their final photo to look EXACTLY like how it looked on the display for artistic reasons. Peoples faces look different when flipped, and for a person who is making a selfie and gets a perfect look on their display, having to do an EXTRA step to mirror their image again just because some default aspect of the phone wanted to mirror your photo because "that's how other people see you" is annoying.

    Option to save the image as mirrored for front cameras is added for the next version (v1.36).

    I don't want the mirror mode on the live video on a TV Box (using a webcam as a CCTV cam)
