I am trying to record videos that require consistent angle, continuity. I have the Phone's orientation locked to landscape mode. I position the phone as needed with tripod, but find the camera orientation is in portrait mode. I detach phone, tilt till it's in landscape mode and reattach to tripod. Now I have to realign camera for correct angle. Orientation stays the way it should, great, I start recording.
However, when I end recording, the phone reorientates to portrait mode. Now I have to detach, tilt, reattach, and have to tweak to realign camera for correct angle. But even though it the "right" angle, its off from the previous recording. This orientation mess is a HUGE hurdle for workflow.
Is there any way, app add-ons, extensions, settings, to lock the orientation of the camera?

Hello @Varxtis, Welcome to the Samsung Community!
Thanks so much for jumping in and sharing whatโs going on with your screen orientation โ letโs try a quick trick that usually clears this up:
Open your Camera app.
Turn your phone sideways so itโs in landscape.
While youโre still holding it sideways, swipe down and turn OFF AutoโRotate.
Your phone will โlock inโ whatever position youโre in at that moment, so it should stay in landscape.
Go ahead and mount your phone โ it should keep that landscape orientation even after you stop recording.
Hope this helps!
