I don't know if the Computing Reference Desk is the right place to ask, or whether this should go to the Entertainment Reference Desk, because it has to do with a feature of a cell phone that isn't computing. My guess is that I am in the right place about a phone that becomes confused. I have a Samsung J7, running Android 8.1.0. I have been trying to take pictures outdoors. One thing that I have tried to do is to rotate the phone so as to get a landscape view rather than a portrait view. It takes the pictures normally with the rear camera when I am viewing in portrait mode. However, sometimes, not always, if I rotate the phone so as to take a landscape picture, the screen fades to black, and remains faded to black until I rotate it back to a portrait view. Is this a problem that anyone else has encountered? Does it have a name or diagnosis? Should I ask somewhere else? Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:16, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
