I've pressed a button somewhere and...

The camera on my tablet is operating like trying to look in a mirror.

As in - if I want to move the tablet to focus on an image on my left I have to move it to my right. If I want to move to an object above I have to move it down.

Not only does this mess with your mind it's making me sea sick. Everything is upside down.

So that I learn, what have I done to get it like this and what do I do to put it right. I can't see any settings marked specifically on the camera screen.

Or should I forget the learning part and just switch the tablet off and on again?

Grateful for any advice. I've struggled for two days 😵‍💫

    You haven't said which tablet you have (make and model) not which camera (front or back).

    But it sounds like you've turned on the option to mirror your image.

    Turning something off and on is always a good first step.

    Thanks PHA.

    Honor pad x8a.

    While I had a look for mirror settings I found a down arrow which when selected showed a tiny settings wheel. That gave me some options.

    One was mirror setting front camera only. So I switched that off. I'd forgotten there was a front and back.

    But there was no option forthcoming for the rear camera.

    I also clicked on restore default settings which turned the front mirror on again.

    I also did a search on the general settings with no result.

    I'll have another rummage tomorrow.🙂
