What exactly is the new portrait mode camera option and what is it used for? I thought, simply, that holding camera vertically is portrait mode and horizontally is landscape mode [emoji848]

The feature is not referring to the actual orientation that the picture will be taken in. You are correct, how you hold the phone will determine that via the gyro sensor. The portrait mode on our phones is a mode that will simulate high camera aperture and depth of field when taking photos of objects. It will attempt to keep the subject in focus and blur the background. See the link below for some example pictures.

For some reason whenever I view a picture in lanscape mode the picture rotates to the right making it upside down. Why, and is there a fix? It doesnt matter if I take the picture in landscape or portrait I get this issue.
Is it a way to default the display mode to landscape when I lay down the g-tablet? Everytime, when I put it down flat, it change the display mode to portrait.
Also, in some sites (http://www.nytimes.com/), the contrast of the screen is sooooo bad (maybe, just my eyes) in the portrait mode, but it looks great in landscape. Is it a hardware defect or something software can fix?
I use a toggle widget from the market to turn off/on the auto-rotate setting
Please get me out of my misery. I’m probably doing something wrong but whenever I take a photo or video facing down towards the floor or ceiling, holding the phone landscape, viewing the result shows portrait and I have to edit to flip it landscape. Any tips for me?
Best regaeds,

Do you have your phone screen rotation locked to portait?
If not, you have to rotate your phone landscape facing straight on forward until the camera UI rotates.
If you're shooting weird angles, consider locking the auto rotate to landscape because the camera UI will rotate to the accelerometers readings.

Thanks for your reply. Auto rotate is enabled in the dropdown menu (blue) so I assume it's not locked to portrate. All pictures taken landscape facing forward are fine when viewed in gallery holding the phone landscape. It only happens holding the phone landscape downward, like taking photo of something on the ground or table. When such photos are taken, they appear in portrate when viewed holding phone in landscape.
Regards,
DEX seems to have no option for portrait. With screen mirroring, I noticed rotating the phone puts it into portrait mode. However, the USB C monitor does not get a true portrait. (It is just as it would be on a TV with the orientation in landscape but a small window in the middle when the phone is in portrait mode). I know that some USB C monitors also have a gravity sensor but mine does not. In windows, it is easily done in the display settings.
I tried a few apps like SecondScreen but they all just end up doing the same thing. Portrait mode is displayed in landscape orientation in the middle of the screen. There seems to be no way to get a true lengthwise portrait mode. I want this for reading PDFs on the go. Does anyone know of a way to do this??

Not that I know of. DeX was not designed to work in portrait mode. If you want to read PDFs in portrait mode on the go, you can't do it in DeX; you have to be in normal tablet mode.
S22 Ultra has huge screen and I would like to use it in landscape orientation always, is there a way to set it permanently ?
I have already tried 'Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.'
and didn't work for me, here is the video https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...orientation-permanently.4411873/post-86533919
one approach: use bixby routines and set to rotate to landscape for all apps on open

I dont see trigger for screen unlock
Is this not an option in the pull-down toggles anymore? I'm still waiting for my S22U to come in, but on my S8 you can pull down and get a "Auto-Rotate" toggle. You'd enable that, rotate the screen the way you want it, and then tap it again -- the text would then change to "Portrait" or "Landscape" and the rotation would be locked in.
Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.

Search your settings for landscape and the rotate to landscape option near the bottom.

(had to record with other mobile as as screen recording gets stopped when locked.)
managed to make it happen
this is what I was missing.
Huh, that's interesting. Seems to be a more recent addition, there was no long-press menu on OneUI 1.0 yet. Glad it's working now!
