When you take a selfie with your iPhone's front-facing camera, the viewfinder shows you a different image than the one you end up taking. The viewfinder shows you a mirror image, just like people are used to seeing themselves in a mirror. However, when the iPhone takes a photo, it captures the image without any mirroring effect. Technically, the photos the iPhone takes are realistic, but the mirror image is false. But some users don't like this behavior because they are used to mirror images. So, in this article, we will show you how you can mirror a front camera selfie on iPhone.
Drivers
The most common way the situation arises is on Skype, although other options are possible. The most common reason that the video from the camera is upside down is the drivers (or, more accurately, the wrong drivers).
In cases where drivers are the cause of an upside-down image, this occurs when:
- The drivers were installed automatically when you installed Windows. (Or the so-called assembly “where all the drivers are”).
- The drivers were installed using some kind of driver pack (for example, Driver Pack Solution).
To find out what driver is installed for your webcam, open Device Manager (type "Device Manager" in the search box in the Start menu in Windows 7 or on the Windows 8 Start screen), then find your webcam that Usually located in the “Imaging devices” item, right-click on the camera and select “Properties”.
In the device properties dialog box, open the Driver tab and note the driver vendor and development date. If you see that the supplier is Microsoft, and the date is far from current, then the reason for the inverted image is almost certainly in the drivers - your computer is using a standard driver, and not one that is specifically designed for your webcam.
In order to install the correct drivers, go to the official website of the manufacturer of the device or your laptop, where all the necessary drivers can be downloaded completely free of charge. You can read more about where to find drivers specifically for your laptop in the article: How to install drivers on a laptop (opens in a new tab).
Flipping the camera on an ASUS laptop
As mentioned above, the problem appears due to an incorrect webcam driver. The most logical option would be to reinstall it, but this is not always effective. However, let's look at everything in order.
Method 1: Reinstalling the driver
Some users install software for components using third-party software or download inappropriate, old versions located on the official website of the equipment manufacturer. Therefore, first of all, we advise you to remove the old software and install the correct, fresh files. Let's do the uninstallation first:

If there are inscriptions or trademarks in the frame, then a mirror selfie may look ridiculous, since the image will be upside down (the photo below shows a girl in the store of the American cosmetics company NYX).

Asus camera upside down windows 10
On laptops from ASUS, problems with the functioning of the webcam quite often occur. The essence of the problem is that the image appears upside down. It is caused only by incorrect driver operation, but there are three ways to solve it. In this article we will look at all the methods. We recommend starting the fix with the first one, moving on to the next options if it does not bring results.
Method 2
If you were unable to find the necessary drivers on the manufacturer’s official website, then simply download the program to search for official drivers, which is completely free. It's easy to find in a search engine.
After downloading and running this program, find the tab called “Notebooks” (or “Laptops”) and fill out all the fields to search for the drivers we need. Having found the necessary drivers, download and install them. The installation process may take some time, and once completed, you will need to restart your laptop.
If none of the methods help you, contact a service center, where they will probably determine the cause of the problem.
We hope this problem will not bother you again.
You can contact the masters from our service center by calling or writing your question on the feedback form.

How to disable photo mirroring on Huawei and Honor
Huawei developers have implemented automatic reflection of photos (taken with the front camera) in their proprietary EMUI firmware. They also added an item to the camera settings that allows you to remove mirroring. To do this, launch the Camera app and switch to the front camera. Then open the settings - to do this, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner. Among the settings, find the “Mirror” item and turn off the corresponding toggle switch.
Other options
It is not difficult to make camera settings on Chinese Xiaomi smartphones. But every parameter must be taken into account. If the user wants to get high-quality pictures and videos, then he should learn the basic elements of professional photography.
To edit all parameters, you should select manual mode and make settings depending on the situation.
Aperture
This is the name of the hole through which light penetrates to the sensor. This is one of the important points when working with the camera. The quality of photographs in low light conditions will depend on the aperture diaphragm. The principle of operation of this element is reminiscent of the change in the human pupil when it reacts to light. The wider the aperture window, the more light will be focused. This indicator is expressed as an f/x value (for example, f/16, f/8, etc.). What this means: the lower the number, the wider the aperture. This means that the camera is light sensitive and is able to capture more light when taking a photo. Thanks to this, smartphone owners have the opportunity to take high-quality photographs in low-light conditions.
Chinese manufacturers have smartphone models with dual cameras of various apertures. Thanks to this, one picture is taken on two different ones, after which they are compared with each other. Due to this, images are clear and contrasty.
Excerpt
Shutter speed is usually called the delay that occurs when the camera shutter is released, that is, a short period of time that allows the flow of light to enter the matrix.
Decreasing this setting is necessary if the photo is taken while the subject is moving and you want to get a clearer, sharper photo. In this case, you can get rid of the blur.
If you increase the shutter time during normal shooting, then due to more light entering, the exposure will improve, resulting in sharper photos.
Exposure mode
This indicator determines how dark or light the image is. Exposure is a combination of the shutter speed on the camera and the degree to which the aperture lens is closed.
It can be spot, center-weighted, partial, or evaluative. It is better to choose the second option, it is considered classic and is suitable for shooting with a smartphone.
White balance
This setting helps control the hue balance distortions that occur under different lighting sources while shooting. For example:
- In cloudy or sunny weather;
- Under artificial lighting;
- At dusk, at night, at dawn.
Under these lighting conditions, the shades in the pictures are distorted, highlighted or darkened. To convey natural indicators, you should focus on white color. Using its balance, the camera is adjusted so that the color gamut is correctly displayed during shooting.
More often, the standard settings are set to “auto mode”; you should adjust it yourself depending on the time and place. The need to make adjustments can be easily determined when white objects in the frame take on a different shade, for example, yellow.
Camera resolution
The quality of the images will largely depend on the camera resolution. The higher this indicator is, the better the pictures and videos are. To do this, you need to set the frame size correctly:
- Full format - 4:3. The picture is obtained in maximum resolution.
- The truncated format is 16:9. The resolution will be lower than in the previous version, since it is cropped at the top and bottom.
It is necessary to adjust this parameter if you want to obtain detail in some fragments in the image. This should also be done when you need to view photos and videos on a widescreen monitor.
Focusing
This parameter is responsible for changing the distance from the camera to the subject of the photograph. In addition, the contrast and clarity of the image depends on it. By default, focus will always be active and cannot be disabled. Here the user has the option to select the mode, which can be continuous or touch. This improves the quality of the resulting image.
Continuous focusing should not be used when shooting a moving subject. In such situations, the choice is made in favor of the second option. When focusing, for example, on Redmi models, the camera is aimed at the object, after which you need to touch the screen with your finger. Then a frame is taken without lifting your finger from the display.
ISO
ISO is the camera's sensitivity to light. Using this option, the brightness of the pictures is adjusted and controlled. The higher the number, the brighter the photos are. If you set the sensitivity to maximum in good lighting, the image will be unsuccessful and blurry. In cloudy weather or in the evening, you can achieve the required light concentration by increasing ISO. Professionals advise setting the indicator higher at times when it is not possible to brighten the picture using shutter speed and aperture. Therefore, when setting ISO, photographers recommend always setting it to a low setting.
Stabilization
Every professional knows what stabilization is, but ordinary smartphone users are not always aware. There is one problem: often when a person is filming, his hands shake, but he himself does not notice it. However, the equipment is more sensitive. Manual shooting results in blurry results. By turning on the stabilization function, you can smooth out sharp fluctuations. You can download a special application for these purposes from the Google Play Market. For example, Motion Stills
Video quality
The quality of the videos will depend on the resolution. To make settings, go to the “Modes” section, and then open “Settings”. Step-by-step instruction:
- In the “Video Quality” parameter, select one of the options. The most optimal is Full HD. For slow motion you can use HD. During settings, the user must understand that the higher the video quality, the more space the file will take up in the phone’s memory;
- Go to “Focus Mode”, select “Touch”. For continuous focusing, it is recommended to select CAF.
Shooting formats
In the settings of different smartphone models, this parameter may be called differently. The option “quality” is often found. Modern devices include two or more cameras, making it possible to use several shooting formats at once. The most popular is Portrait mode, which allows you to take pictures with a blurred background.
AI mode is available on more expensive Xiaomi models. It automatically selects settings for bright and rich photos.
There is another useful mode - HDR (High Dynamic Range). Photos with him turn out colorful and detailed. Available on the latest Mi and Redmi models, with stock firmware.
As for videos, preference should be given to Full HD rather than 4K. The first option produces clear pictures when viewed on a widescreen screen.
Mirror mode
The mirror mode of the camera on Xiaomi devices mirrors the photo taken with the front camera. To enable the option, you need to open the “Camera” application - “Modes”. Click on the gear and go to settings. Make the function active. The mode is turned off using the same algorithm.
There are many apps that can help you make your photos clear. Many people prefer to use Google Camera mode. However, there are others. Each user selects software for himself.
How to fix an upside-down webcam image using third-party programs
If none of the above helps, it is still possible to flip the camera video so that it displays normally. One of the best and almost guaranteed to work is ManyCam, which you can download for free here (opens in a new window).
Installing the program is not particularly difficult, I just recommend not installing Ask Toolbar and Driver Updater, which the program will try to install along with itself - you don’t need this garbage (you need to click Cancel and Decline where they are offered to you). The program supports Russian language.
After launching ManyCam, do the following:
Done - now the image on Skype will be normal. The only drawback of the free version of the program is its logo at the bottom of the screen. However, the image will be displayed in the state you require.

I appreciate it! turned it over by downloading the program
Thank you very much it helped!
I had to download ManyCam. But the problem was solved immediately. I also got the opportunity to use image effects. True, I haven’t tried it yet.
Thank you It helped as soon as I downloaded the ManyCam program.
I downloaded the program and turned the image upside down, but on Skype the image flickers when called. What could it be?
I think you should try downloading webcam drivers from your laptop manufacturer's website. If it is not there for your version of Windows, look under the previous one. And when you install it, turn off this program.
thanks everything works great
The camera on my phone shoots upside down, what can I do about it?
But I’ve never even met someone like this... I’m kind of out of ideas. Is she really filming like that or is it just some third-party player showing it that way?
Hooray! This is the only tip from Money Cam that helped! THANK YOU!
I have a problem, recently on Skype my image during a conversation becomes vertical. I have a Win 10 tablet, unfortunately your methods did not work, what else can I try? Thank you. (if you can reply by email)
I don't know what else to recommend. Perhaps this has something to do with the orientation sensor on the tablet, but I'm not sure.
My problem was easily resolved. For some reason, the image flip checkbox was checked in the camera settings.
You are absolutely right. After installing Win 10 on the ASUS K52JR laptop, in the properties of the “inverted” camera it shows that the driver is from Microsoft. When you try to install it, the native driver Azurewave Camera Driver 5.8.55133.208 is not installed, the installation starts and immediately “collapses”. At the same time, on Win 7, the same driver was installed normally. Installing in compatibility mode with Win 7 does not help either. The output is as follows: Driver - Update - search for drivers on this computer - specify the directory with the driver files. Everything is installed normally and the camera “returns from head to foot”!
THANK YOU! this method helped! I managed without third-party software.
Thank you, using the ManyCam program I immediately solved the problem. Everything turned out to be easy and simple.
Good afternoon! Thank you, the ManyCam program helped, everything is cool! The only thing is that the camera started to lag a little!
Thank you very much, I am very grateful to you! ManyCam helped. The instructions are written very simply and easy to understand!
Very grateful! Everything is sensible and useful. Good luck!
ManyCam is a miracle. Thank you.
The picture turned over and everything became as it should, but the SOUND IS GONE...
Strange... in general, the actions should not have affected the sound. Did you change the recording device in the settings?
Thanks for your help. I couldn’t fix the upside-down image on the camera in Skype. Following your advice everything worked out. very grateful to you
Thank you very much, everything worked out using the Many Cam installation.
Thank you, very useful and working article. Everything is set up and now works correctly
Good afternoon Installed the program. During installation, I received a message about an unsigned driver (Win 7 OS) and that the system did not allow the driver to be installed and the virtual camera may not work correctly. Launched the program. In the program itself, the image is flipped. ManyCam did not appear on Skype. Those. no connection with the program. How to deal with this problem? Thank you!
Hello. 1. Remove ManyCam. 2. Disable checking the digital signature of drivers (although, in fact, in 7 it even offers to install unsigned drivers, you had to agree). About disabling here: https://remontka.pro/driver-digital-signature-check/ 3. Install manyCam.
When making a video call, my Microsoft webcam shows correctly, but in the bottom right corner it’s upside down, and whoever I’m talking to can see my computer upside down. was Windows 7 then became 10 name "Asus"
Are there any webcam drivers for your laptop model on the official Asus website by any chance?
yes, there is a driver, but how to configure them?
Have you installed it? Is it the original one? It's just that this is usually enough for the image to appear without problems. No additional software for the webcam was installed along with the driver?
As for how to invert an analog signal, that is, mirror it, there are no drivers or programs.
Thank you. I've already rearranged the drivers 30 times, to no avail. Through Skype I went into the camera settings and fixed everything.
Thank you. Good program (ManyCam). There are a lot of opportunities there. It was possible to mirror it and rotate it 90 degrees (to match the image with the telephone format). Both picture-in-picture and video recording... excellent. Only the user interface of the program has now been so radically redesigned that I didn’t immediately find everything I needed and almost gave up. It would be nice to update the picture in the instructions.

Sequencing
The first step is to launch the Camera application. In the upper right part of the window that opens there is an image of three horizontal stripes. Click on it, which causes a pop-up window to appear. On the left side is the “Settings” menu, which you need to select.
Among the items you need to find “Mirror mode”. Click on it and select the “Disabled” option.
If you look at the screen of your Xiaomi phone when taking a selfie, the photo will appear mirrored. But when it is saved in the memory of the mobile device, it will be displayed as it should, without a mirror effect.

How to rotate an image by installing drivers?
The problem of an upside-down picture in Skype and various video chats due to drivers can arise in two cases:
As a result of such actions, the operation of any computer component can be disrupted, be it a video card, webcam or something else. And the reason is simple - the drivers do not match the equipment used.
To check the version of the installed webcam driver, go to the device manager. To do this, in Windows 10, hover your mouse over the Start icon, right-click and select the appropriate item in the list that opens. In Windows 7, you can use the search bar - also through the Start menu.
In Device Manager, do the following:
If the development time turns out to be far from relevant, and Microsoft is indicated as the supplier, then the web camera shows an inverted image, most likely precisely because of the installed standard drivers. In this case, you should search the Internet for drivers specifically designed for your existing camera or laptop. You can download them for free on the manufacturer's website. In some cases, the necessary driver may be supplied on a disk or flash drive when purchasing the device.
How to flip a picture in camera settings
In rare cases, when even installing drivers specifically designed for your existing device does not give the desired result, you can try to rotate the picture in Skype by changing the webcam settings.
If software for controlling the camera was installed along with the driver on your laptop or PC, then you can look for the image rotation function there. However, going into the settings in many cases turns out to be problematic: there is no corresponding program on the desktop, and the camera is not displayed either in devices or in the control panel. What to do?
Since many people use Skype, it is faster and easier to try to access the webcam program through it. To do this, open the “Settings” menu, then select “Sound and Video” (the names of the items may differ in different versions of Skype). Under the inverted image on the screen, a button (link) should appear to go to the video settings, which will allow you to launch a special program from here, which can be individual for a particular camera model.
Setting up the camera on Xiaomi smartphones
Not always, after purchasing a Chinese Xiaomi smartphone on MIUI and Android OS, the quality of the photos is as the reviews show. Much will depend on the device settings. More often than not, it is enough to simply install special applications on the device that improve the quality of pictures. However, there are other methods by which the Xiaomi camera is configured.
Setting the picture quality
Before taking photographs, you should set the camera quality to maximum. To do this, you need to open the standard camera application.
Next, the setup is performed according to the following algorithm:

Webcam settings
Sometimes it can happen that even though the drivers for the webcam in Windows are installed specifically for use with this camera, the image in Skype and in other programs that use its image still remains upside down. In this case, you can look for options to return the image to normal in the settings of the device itself.
The easiest and fastest way for a novice user to get into the Webcam settings is to launch Skype, select “Tools” - “Settings” - “Video Settings” in the menu, then, under your inverted image, click “Webcam Settings” - a dialog box will open , which will look different for different camera models.
For example, I do not have the ability to rotate the image. However, most cameras have this option. In the English version, this property can be called Flip Vertical (flip vertically) or Rotate (rotate) - in the latter case, you need to set the rotation to 180 degrees.
As I already said, this is a simple and quick way to get into the settings, since almost everyone has Skype, but the camera may not be displayed in the control panel or devices. Another simple option is to use a program to control your camera, which, most likely, was installed along with the drivers when you completed the first point of this guide: the necessary capabilities for image rotation may also be present there.
