DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING IMAGE ORIENTATION
First Claim
1. A camera device, comprising:
- a support structure;
a primary camera carried by the support structure;
a secondary camera carried by the support structure;
an orientation detector connected to the secondary camera, configured to identify images features in an image captured by the secondary camera, and to determine rotation orientation of the image relative to a reference orientation;
a data storing device configured to store image data of images captured by the primary camera in an orientation dependent on determined rotation orientation.

Abstract
A camera device (1) comprising a support structure (10), a primary camera (16) carried by the support structure, and a secondary camera (15) carried by the support structure. When the primary camera (16) is operated to capture an image of an object, the secondary camera (15) captures an image of a user of the camera device (1). An orientation detector (17) is connected to the secondary camera (15), configured to identify images features in the image captured by the secondary camera, such as the eyes and mouth of the user, and to determine rotation orientation of the image relative to a reference orientation. A data storing device (20, 21) is configured to store image data of images captured by the primary camera in an orientation dependent on determined rotation orientation. This way all images may be stored in a common orientation, regardless of which orientation the camera device was held in when the images were captured.

16. A method for adjusting image orientation in a camera device, comprising the steps of:
-
capturing an image using a primary camera carried by a support structure; capturing an image using a secondary camera carried by the support structure; identifying image features in the image captured by the secondary camera, determining rotation orientation of the image captured by the secondary camera relative to a reference orientation; storing image data of the image captured by the primary camera in a memory in an orientation dependent on determined rotation orientation. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
