Why is the text reversed when taking video with Apple phone?

Many times we use our mobile phones to take photos, but sometimes, when we take photos with text, we actually find that the fonts are reversed when taking selfies with our mobile phones? What's going on?

The reason is this:

Self-portraits use the principle of mirror imaging:

(1) The image is the same size as the object.

(2) If the distance between the image and the mirror is equal, it is a virtual image.

(3) The images are equal in size, consistent up and down, and opposite on the left and right.

So to sum up the above: When taking selfies with a mobile phone, the mirror principle is used, and the left and right photos are reversed. Just like looking in a mirror, the orientation is reversed, and the direction of the text is naturally reversed. Yes, it's normal.

So what should we do if we want the font to be correct?

The first method

1. First open the camera and switch to the front camera;

2. Then press and hold the menu key. It will appear that there are several Press the button with a horizontal line, switch to the front camera settings, and see if you have the self-portrait mirror;

3. Click on the self-portrait mirror settings, set the function to "off", and the setting is complete .

It should be noted that although selfie mirroring has been turned off, the text direction in the preview result of the front camera selfie is still reversed, but the text direction in the saved photo will automatically become normal.

The second method

1. Regardless of the phone lens, take a good photo first.

2. After taking the photo, edit it. You can use the photo editor provided by the system or download the app.

3. In the editor, select "Rotate and Flip" and then select Mirror Flip.

This is mainly used for post-photo editing. It can also be used to correct the mirrored fonts.
