How to avoid mirrored photos with Galaxy S10 front camera?

simon · 2 Comments

 avoid mirrored photos with Galaxy S10 front cameraBy default, Galaxy S10 camera app saves front camera photos as in the preview screen,  which is mirrored. Very often, you may want to avoid mirrored photos.

Although you can rotate the photo in any photo editors, you can easily change camera settings to avoid mirrored photos.

This Galaxy S10 camera guide explains why you get the mirrored photos, how to stop saving mirrored photos, and how to flip the mirrored photos as normal photos without using any third-party apps.

Why do you get the mirrored photos from Galaxy S10 front camera?

When you take selfies with Galaxy S10 front camera (see Galaxy S10 layout), the preview screen shows you a “mirrored” image for you to check.

Actually, all smartphone front cameras work in this way. This is consistent with what you do with makeups and clothes: you check them with a mirror.

But very often the mirrored photo is not what you want for a selfie photo. You often want to get a “normal”, not mirrored (flipped), photo, as what you get from the rear camera.

Unfortunately, most Android phone manufacturers by default save the mirrored photo for the front camera.

Of course, when saving, most Android phone manufacturers allow you to change the saving option in camera settings to avoid the mirrored photos.

Google Nexus and Pixel phones always avoid the mirrored photo when using the front camera. Actually, on Nexus and Pixel phones, there are no options for you to save a “mirrored” photo, although in the preview screen you get the mirrored image.

You can open the camera app from the Galaxy S10 Home screen, or apps screen, or even the lock screen.

Step 2: Access camera settings
