The camera in iOS 14 has undergone some innovations. For example, you can switch the app to mirroring mode.
There is a group of people who are fond of taking selfies, under every conceivable circumstance. And part of that group thinks it feels unnatural if their live preview is not shown in mirror image. Somewhat nonsense of course, because a camera simply does not produce a mirror image. But to meet the needs of the army of 'selfieists', Apple has added a mirror image display to the camera in iOS 14. Launch the app and switch to Selfie mode (i.e. press the camera select button). You will see that the mirror view is activated by default. If you prefer the normal non-mirrored display, start the app Institutions. Tap in it Camera and put the switch behind Mirror front camera from.
Oops, a bug?
And with that, we immediately ran into a somewhat hidden bug in iOS 14. That switch is already off! Switching it on and off again offers no solution: the preview continues to be shown in mirror image. After some thought, the switch also appears to have a different function: by turning it on, the selfie taken is actually saved in mirror image. Turning it off produces an anti-reflective photo. Unfortunately, the preview can only be viewed in mirror image from now on.
One of the quirks that you as a user of iOS 14 (iPadOS 14 has the same problem by the way) have to learn to live with. By the way: if you are still in that Settings app... By the switch behind Use 'Volume Up' for burst On, you can use the volume up button to shoot a quick burst of photos. Normally - with this option disabled - a video recording will start if you hold that button longer in photo mode.
