camera locked on landscape

mrscoaly — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 20:16:16 GMT

My z1 Compact phone camera is locked on landscape. The orientation lock is not on and nothing else on my phone is in landscape. Can anyone advise how to put the camera back to normal?

Settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart your phone > check again

Hi. If I follow.same as above but clearing app data on my album settings will that delete any pictures etc?
Just camera album has decided to double or triple all my pictures and mix up the order of them.
I went to download pics to my pc but it said I had nearly 4000 pics which I know is incorrect. Hoping clearing app data will rectify this. Cheers
