Product:iOS Product Version:iOS 8.0 (12A4345d)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
In iOS 8, the UIImagePickerController does not orient the camera to be upright in different device orientations.  Instead, the camera is rotated at the same angle as the device.  This is in contrast to previous versions of iOS were the camera would always be oriented upright regardless of device orientation.

See landscape.png and portrait.png in the attached zip.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a UIImagePickerController and present it.
2. Observe the camera is upright in portrait.
3. Rotate the device to landscape.
4. Observe the camera is angled 90 degrees (the same orientation as the device) instead of oriented upright.

Expected Results:
The camera should always be oriented upright.

Actual Results:
The camera is oriented at the same angle as the device.

Version:
iOS 8.0 (12A4345d)

Notes:
Ensure rotation lock is disabled.

Configuration:
iPad 3 32GB, using WiFi
