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.

As above, I'm trying to find a good camera app for the DHD that lets you take Self-portraits using either the volume key as the shutter or by touching anywhere on the touch screen or similar.
Most phones now have no physical shutter button so I wanted to find an app for this purpose for taking Self-portraits if there is one? so far I have tried apps such as Volume Key Camera but it just force closes. I'm aware there are apps for the iphone that let you tap anywhere on the screen to take a shot so was hoping there is similar or using the volume key for the DHD.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Have a mirror in front you your phone screen while taking a picture.

Your right that probably is the best way although was hoping there is an app that lets you tap any part of the screen or use the volume key to take shots.
You already have self portrait function in htc camera. It automatically takes photo when it sees face. Works great for me.

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.

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.

After reading some of the reviews, this phone is supposed to have some kind of face detection mode for taking pictures of yourself. When the rear camera detects your face, the power button is supposed to flash green so you know to take the pic. I can't seem to get that feature to work. Also you are supposed to be able to use the volume button as a shutter button as well but it also doesn't work for me. All it does is zoom in and out when I'm in the camera app.
Go to camera, then settings, then focus, and select auto detect

Worked. Thanks!
Welcome, also change the volume key from zoom to capture. That's also done in settings
