S20+ - is there a way to stop showing reversed images in rear camera?
1

Just got this new phone a couple of days ago and am going crazy trying to get the camera to show unreversed images (and videos) using the rear (selfie) camera.

I've gone into the camera menus and tried turning off Pictures as Previewed.   That gets the image to save in the correct way.   But it still displays in mirror image and I'd love not to have that when I'm using that camera.  (Who thought mirror image mode was a good idea to start with?)

At least I'm pretty sure why this mirroring is a 'standard'.   When doing a selfie, doing a mirror image makes it easier to track yourself moving left and right.

I remember back in the days of using my twin lens reflex that tracking a subject in a reversed viewfinder was definitely ... odd.
