Anyway to change camera orientation

[Bboy486]

As the title says, I have a case and the camera is sideways. Is there any way to set the camera to -90 degrees?

Indeed you can. You will need to edit the camera code in the "user_interface.py" file. Have a look at the tutorial here: https://top10.digital/raspberry-pi-camera-v2-tutorial/.

This does not work as an external script.

Am i looking for

import picamera as mycamera
from picamera.color import Color

then do I add camera = PiCamera()
self.camera.rotation = 90

(this error due to syntax)

or

#Camera
self.camera = mycamera.PiCamera()
self.camera.annotate_text_size = 160 # Maximum size
self.camera.annotate_foreground = Color('white')
self.camera.annotate_background = Color('black')

Copy paste syntax error.

No error it just doesn't adjust image orientation. I added:

#Camera
self.camera = mycamera.PiCamera()
self.camera.rotation = 90
self.camera.annotate_text_size = 160 # Maximum size
self.camera.annotate_foreground = Color('white')
self.camera.annotate_background = Color('black')

Rebooted but the image did not rotate on TouchSelfie
