Camera preview rotated on some devices

I have been for a while with camera preview on some tablet devices. On most of the top-end devices works well, however on this cheap tablet the preview is completely upside down like the one on the picture: Camera Preview

Is there a way to manually rotate the preview?

EDIT 1: I'm using cwac-cam2 library;

EDIT 2: Seems its not just eStar (low-budget one), Asus MemoPad 7 as well has rotated preview.

Um, the picture does not show a "completely upside down" preview AFAICT. It shows what appears to be a preview rotated 90 degrees (a woman standing on the floor appears to be standing on a wall in the preview). The expression "upside down" is usually reserved for a 180-degree rotation (a woman standing on the floor appears to be standing on the ceiling in the preview).

No.

Please read the project's contribution guidelines, then post an issue (or two, in this case, if you prefer, one per device). Be certain to include complete steps for reproducing the issue. In this case, that would include the code necessary to reproduce the problem (if you cannot reproduce it with the project's demo apps), along with enough device identifiers that I can reliably procure this hardware. Notably, there are several devices marketed as an Asus MemoPad 7, not even including the HD variant. There also seem to be a few different tablets marketed under the eStar brand.

Now, I happen to be revamping the camera preview stuff right now, so there's an off chance that I'll semi-unintentionally happen to fix this problem as a part of that, but I wouldn't hold out much hope. That's why, to fix this, I need to be able to reproduce the problem here in the lab, so that I can figure out what is going on.
