Jolla stores orientation of a picture into EXIF-metadata. Often this information is not handled properly by picture viewers or preview tools (i.e. some file managers). Then the image is shown wrong-rotated or flipped.
Many cameras store "top left" as default for EXIF-orientation, to avoid this. (the device is recognizing its orientation an will rotate the screen in right view.)

Do you mean you'd like the phone to auto-rotate photos after they are taken? That's more work for the CPU when you're using it, which could cause some lag and impact battery life. I quite like the EXIF orientation info - it's supported by Windows 8 which means I never have to manually rotate photos. I even hacked my qdig install to automatically rotate the thumbnails it generates. I'd vote to leave it as it is, or at most provide an option to turn it off for people using buggy software.
