How to disable auto rotation when rotating my iPhone?

If I rotate the IPhone, lens or objective or framing go together in rotation. I would like them remain upside down

You can't take a picture upside down. If you want to display a photo upside down after taking it, edit it after you take the photo, by tapping the slider controls on the bottom of the picture, then Crop, then use the rotate square with a backward facing arrow at the top left.


Locking orientation won't do what you hope it would here.
