Hi,


I have tried taking a snapshot with the YouCam(Webcam) of my laptop.
However, in each time, The text is taken upside-down(the text is upside-down).
I have tried rotating it clockwise, and counterclockwise with Windows Photo viewer, but it is still as it is taken.


In the first time, I have tried directing the target object to be snapped right-side up while snapping to let the content/texts be right-side up. However, the same thing happened.

In the second time, I have tried directing the target object to be snapped upside-down in front of the camera to let the content/texts be upside down. However, the same thing happened.

However, when taking a snapshot for me or any other animated human, the snapshot was taken right-side up. (correct).


The settings of my Camera are set to:

I have tried selecting 'flip vertically'. but the same thing happened.

That problem is normal and cannot be fixed.

A webcam shows everything "flipped" left to right, but when it's your face you don't notice it (but if you look at the objects behind your face you will see they are reversed or flipped).

Webcam was not designed for taking pictures of text because of that flipped image output.

Thanks a lot for your clarification. However, I have a Samsung Glaxy mobile phone, and I can take pictures of text with it normally, and the there is no flipped image output. The image is fine.
