Answer 1

Are you using the app in landscape?

if so, try adding this option to your camera settings in the getPicture() function:

correctOrientation: false

or if your using in portrait try setting it true. It smells like a bug but that might fix it.

Also are you checking the actual uploaded image? Is it the wrong orientation?
