Camera orientation won't change to landscape when phone is facing down (or up)

Hi,

Whenever I try to take a photo with my phone facing down (so for example if I want to take a photo of something in my other hand) the camera orientation doesn't switch to landscape, even though my phone is clearly oriented to take a landscape photo. All the photos end up being taken vertically, so I have to go and edit them. While testing, I noticed two things:

• The same happens if I'm pointing my camera up.
• The only workaround to make the phone switch to landscape is if I lift my phone to a "regular photo" position, see the 1x switch orientations and then back down.

What I think is happening is that the camera/gyroscope doesn't work when the phone is held up or down.

Is this a known issue? Or is it just my phone?

Thank you.
