Mirror photos

Al the pictures taken with my pi camera v2 are mirrored (you can’t read the text on my shirt) how can I solve this problem?

Hi @BramWerbrouck, have a look at the flip setting in the camera section:

# Flip horizontally the capture
flip = False

These lines where missing in my config-file, thanks for this.

The problem now is that the 'live video' just before the capture, is mirrored (just like it was before).. the processed image is correct now (thanks to the flip option in the config-file) can this problem be solved too?

I found the problem. I changed rule 88 from rpi.py from
def preview(self, window, flip=True):
into:
def preview(self, window, flip=False):

And:

if flip:
    flip = False
else:
    flip = True 

into:

if flip:
    flip = True
else:
    flip = False

and the problem is solved :-) Now of works when I change the camera flip option in the Config file (no id why it didn’t before)
