Whenever I switch to record video, the phone switches to landscape mode and I can't switch it back to portrait. Video I record holding phone in portrait orientation plays back sideways. It's it just me?
No, my phone exhibits the same, I think it's a limitation of the Sony video player.
I use QuickPic and then run the camera from within the app, it allows me to record video or still shots in either portrait or landscape then play them back in either mode with functional auto-rotate.
Hopefully Sony will update their video player to use auto-rotate, but more likely one of the talented developers from xda will produce a mod first.
Hope this helps

MX Player works great with HW decoding and have a screen button allowing you change the orientation. I hope Sony changes it in the next update to solve that problem.

Let me explain... The stock camera app supports only landscape video recording. You can use it in portrait mode but the video will be sideways. This is by design like all the cameras and phones.

The camera often converts my shot, which is in landscape, to portrait. I've even forced it to landscape mode, but it still switches it to portrait. How do you fix this?
Are u sure your positioning your device correctly.

150% sure. Sometimes it converts my landscape shot upside down. To fix it, I have to use the camera upside down. When it converts my landscape shot to portrait, I'll try shooting in portrait mode, but it keeps my picture in portrait. It's completely screwed-up.

Is it possible to use the optical zoom in apps that don't have zoom feature, Like IP Webcam? Can I set the zoom level and then run the app?
What resolution do you get in IP Webcam?
I don't have the Galaxy Camera but I'm 95% sure that it will work because the camera uses optical zoom which is controlled by hardware and not dependent on software because the zoom is controlled by the lens.

Nope it won't work!
The camera initialized with default values and zoom at 1x everytime you use an camera related app.
The 'Hardware-keys' only functioning within the samsung camera app.
Everywhere else the keys works as volume buttons.

Is it just me or my camera controls are always horizontal no matter the phone's orientation? I have to either focus somewhere or flip the phone to make it right.

The camera App has always started in the landscape position since I can remember back to the OG Evo no matter if the phone is held in portrait or not...If you ever take a photo in portrait that ends up in landscape you can simply rotate the photo in edit mode right from the gallery app
I have noticed this but if you hold in portrait mode and tap the screen to focus, it will kick it in portrait mode. The LTEVO was like that also.

I have a Pumpkin MTCB running 4.4.4 and a ROM from Alex, its great!
I have a USB webcam that I use for Skype, however Skype displays the video as rotated in a portrait orientation, when the webcam is providing video in landscape. Is there anyway I can rotate this system wide?
Thank you!
Is there a initial camera orientation setting in a Android file somewhere I can edit to do this?
Bump
If you are rooted and running xposed, you could try the " per app DPI " module to force Skype into portrait mode.
