Display screen upside down

tjamrose — Sat, 22 Jun 2019 23:10:40 GMT

Today when I was out taking pictures, I put my display screen back but it was all upside down. The text is upside down and the display pictures as well. I checked my menu and the auto rotate is set to on. I turned it off to see if it would fix it and it did not work. I also powered off and took out the battery and it did not fix it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

What camera model do you have?

In the meantime go to your settings and perform a reset to defaults for starters

Auto rotate only comes into play when you are taking shots with the camera in a vertical position so that the displayed image will be vertical too so I do not think that is your problem.

Is the image upside down when the screen is pulled out or only when it is folded back into the camera?

Only when folded back into the camera. I did reset from the menu and nothing changed

It could be your screen orientation sensor has failed. There is a youtube video for the 60D camera which shows another possible problem and solution, I don't know if it applies to the T6 but it looks like a simple fix.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DPBDk4ZVJU

Thanks for your help. I think it is a sensor. Lucky for me I can return it thru amazon.

Of course one must consider where the camera is being used. If, for example the camera was bought in the northern hemisphere but used in the southern hemisphere one must expect that the images will appear upside down as the photographer and camera are in fact upside down too!

Just happened to me on a used T6i I bought today. I didn't feel like taking it apart to fix like the youtube video so I just turned it off, closed the screen a tad harder than normal. Turned it on and it was fixed. Looks like the cam issue is momentarily solved. Most likely I will have to crack it open and fix it permanently in the near future.

Can I use the trick for fixing the same problem in my 750D? (the video you shared)
