Oppo: Turn Off Mirrored Selfies in the Camera App

Selfies taken with the front camera on Oppo phones often come out mirrored, so text and logos appear backwards and your face looks flipped compared to how others actually see you. This happens because the camera saves the photo exactly as shown in the live preview instead of correcting the flip. The Flip Selfie setting controls this behavior, but it sits inside the advanced camera settings and is easy to overlook.

Disable Mirror Effect for Front Camera Selfies auf Oppo

On Oppo phones running Coloros, the front camera saves selfies exactly as they appear in the live preview by default.

That preview is mirrored, so any text, logos, or asymmetric features in the shot come out flipped in the saved photo.

The Flip Selfie option in the camera settings controls whether this mirroring carries over into the final file.

To turn it on or off, go to Tap on CameraTap on SettingsTap on Advanced settingsEnable or disable Flip selfie.

When Flip Selfie is enabled, the saved photo matches the live preview, meaning it stays mirrored.

When it is disabled, the camera flips the image back before saving, so the result matches how other people actually see you.

This setting only affects the front camera and applies to photos, video, and other media captured with it.

If you use the front camera mainly for video calls or scanning documents with visible text, keeping Flip Selfie off usually gives more accurate results.

For selfies focused on framing and symmetry rather than exact text, some people prefer keeping the mirrored version instead.

With Flip selfie disabled, the camera flips the final image compared to what you see in the live preview, so the saved photo matches how other people see you rather than the mirrored preview.
