Thread: Duxford host a Spittie collection.

How does this happen so often that photos are "flipped"....?

P.P.P.S. I don't know if any other anoraks out there have noticed my typo....but I meant "MkXIV"....

Thanks for explaining that.

Mind you, I didn't understand a word of it. I will have a cup of tea and try again.

I read /perused something after I started to use my water wheel powered I-phone 5 that, & I don't know if this is crap or not, that it seems to be in the holding of an I-phone that things can be reversed usually side to side when posted. As I recall,if the camera is held so the lens shoots low as opposed to high with the finger inadvertently partly covering the lens you can get this effect. Holding the camera in the left hand & button pressing with left with the lens low down on the camera may obviate this problem & the lazy finger doesn't enter in to it. Something to do with innards of the camera. A mystery to me.

ie. camera is reversed in your hand.& the 2nd finger from the thumb can "lazily" fall in front of the lens if one is right handed & the camera is held in the left.
Something similar happens on here when images are displayed but @ 90* or 180* so you have to stand on your hands/ head to view.
Either that or you turn the screen upside down???

It has been raised previously many times on here but other than the above possible solution I have seen I cannot say. No one seems to have come up with a correct solution & I haven't experimented.

I suppose it depends on how the image you referred to was taken as well, & with what.


Capice?

Sorry, what was the question?

As it happens nor did I



The word accelerometer came into it somewhere.??????????? I think.


I guess the best way is to experiment for oneself. Maybe there is more on Gargle these days?


Yep I always find having a cuppa just the job if perplexed.
