All photos stored in portrait, no matter what orientation the camera was when taken

[James Henstridge]

When I take photos in landscape mode, they display in portrait orientation in the gallery. Looking at the saved files, they are 1836x3264 JPEG images, while the landscape orientation photos I took a month ago are 3264x1836. Neither the new or old photos include EXIF orientation tags.

I've also noticed that the viewfinder is sometimes shown upside down. If I hold my phone so the USB port is to the right, the viewfinder image is oriented correctly. If I hold it with the USB port to the left, the viewfinder is upside down. In both cases, the camera controls are at the bottom of the screen.

I'm guessing both of these issues are related to the new shell auto-rotation feature.

I encountered this on my Nexus 4 running the latest devel-proposed image:

current build number: 229
device name: mako
channel: ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/ubuntu
last update: 2015-06-18 17:30:40
version version: 229
version ubuntu: 20150618
version device: 20150529.1
version custom: 20150618

This has camera-app version 3.0.0.558.

This also seems to affect videos.

More testing: if I turn on the rotation lock, photos taken in landscape mode are saved correctly.
