Have you noticed that your camera on iPhone 12 is showing inverted images? This can be quite frustrating, especially when you are trying to capture the perfect moment. The good news is that there is a simple solution to this problem.
The inverted camera issue on iPhone 12 can be caused by a software glitch or a setting that needs to be adjusted. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to turn off the inverted camera and get back to taking normal photos and videos.
To begin, you will need to access the settings on your iPhone 12. Tap on the “Settings” app icon, which can be found on your home screen. Once you are in the settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Camera”.
Within the camera settings, look for the option called “Mirror Front Camera”. This option is turned on by default, which is why your front camera is capturing inverted images. To fix this, simply tap on the switch to turn it off. Once the switch is greyed out, you have successfully disabled the inverted camera on your iPhone 12.
Now, when you open your camera app and switch to the front camera, you will notice that the images are no longer inverted. You can confidently take selfies, make video calls, and record videos without any worry of the camera showing the wrong orientation.
Remember, these steps are specific to the iPhone 12 model. If you are using a different iPhone model, the settings may vary slightly. However, the basic concept of disabling the “Mirror Front Camera” option should still be applicable.
In conclusion, the inverted camera on iPhone 12 can be easily turned off by adjusting a simple setting in the camera options. By following the steps provided in this article, you can quickly resolve this issue and continue to capture perfect memories with your iPhone 12.
Step 1: Access the Settings
To turn off the inverted camera feature on your iPhone 12, you will need to go to the settings menu. Follow the steps below:
- Unlock your iPhone 12 by entering your passcode or using Face ID.
- Locate and tap on the “Settings” app on your home screen. The app icon looks like a set of gears.

- Once you are in the Camera settings, you will see various options related to the camera functionality.
- Look for the “Preserve Settings” section and tap on it.

After following these steps, the inverted camera feature should be turned off on your iPhone 12. You can now use the camera without the inverted effect.
Step 2: Locate the Camera Section
Once you have accessed the Settings on your iPhone 12, scroll down the list of options until you find the “Camera” section. It should be located near the middle of the list. Tap on the “Camera” option to proceed.
Step 3: Turn off the Inverted Camera Setting
Once you have accessed the Settings app and entered the Accessibility menu, you will need to find the “Camera” option. It is usually located under the “Vision” section or is searchable using the search bar at the top of the screen.
Once you have selected the “Camera” option, you will be taken to the camera accessibility settings. Here, you will find the “Invert Colors” option. Tap on the toggle switch to turn it off. When the switch is grayed out, it means that the inverted camera setting is turned off.
After turning off the inverted camera setting, exit the Settings app and open the Camera app again. The camera should now be working in its normal orientation, without any inverted colors or images.
If you still encounter any issues with the camera after turning off the inverted camera setting, you may need to restart your iPhone or contact Apple Support for further assistance.

If the inverted camera was affecting the front camera, switch to the front camera by tapping on the icon that looks like two circular arrows, typically located in the top-right corner of the screen. This will make sure you’re seeing the correct image.
3. Take a Test Selfie
Take a test selfie by tapping the shutter button. If the inverted effect has been turned off successfully, the image captured will appear normal.
