Photo taken with camera appear the wrong way up?

[Chris]

I've taken a photo with the camer but when I set the image data to be the src of an image element it appears on its side. I upload it to a server and it displays correctly. I suspect it is something stupid I am doing..

Hi Chris,

Try adding "correctOrientation: true," to the options for "navigator.camera.getPicture", for more information refer to the Cordova Camera Api.

All the best,

Hi try this and it complete crashes the app. Is there something wrong with my syntax

navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onPhotoDataFail, { quality: 50, correctOrientation: true });

Hi I think I got to the bottom of this orientation feature seems to crash my phone unless I resize the image to a reasonable size e.g.

navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onPhotoDataFail, { quality: 50, correctOrientation: true, targetWidth: 750, targetHeight: 750 });

Makes my app a lot quicker

This approach works well as long as you don't care about image quality. That is, you will only ever view the image on the device.

you will find if you view the images on a desktop that you sacrifice image quality for reduction in size.
