What is the technical limitation that stops an app from making the camera shoot native horizontal while holding the phone vertical?
Would the camera have to physically rotate or is it software and iOS/android just don't give devs access to it?
- lstamour 12y agoYes, the camera would have to physically rotate or stay level. Think of a film camera: holding the camera sideways means shooting in landscape at a 90 degree angle = instant portrait mode, no fancy software rotation effects required. Alternatively, if we had a completely square sensor... though that still wouldn't help if you rotate at less than 90 degree angles.
