    It wouldn’t. It would just switch the orientation of the camera. The preview/what you’re looking at would remain in portrait mode.

    It’s literally a software problem. You don’t use a different camera when you go into landscape mode, you’re just using a different aspect ratio.

    So again, why don’t we have this?

      i think its not about the camera, but about the screen you are seeing the recording on. Imagine taking a video in landscape but having to check what you are recording in portrait. What would i want that disadvantage for?

      Btw i find the many people who watch wide screen videos in portrait mode fucked up.
