horizontally flipped preview/image

[jedgarpark]

I'm seeing horizontally flipped/mirrored images in live preview and in saved images when using the examples/camera/code.py
I tried setting pycam.hmirror = False but this didn't seem to make a difference.

i was able to set the hmirror to False in the library itself to get a non-mirrored live view and stored photo by changing it to self.camera.hmirror = False so maybe this could be a choice in the constructor when we create the pycam object in code?

I ran into same thing running the camera example.

It's possible to fix in user code with:

pycam.camera.hmirror = False

hmirror is a property of the camera object within the pycam instance, not pycam itself.

I just added it after the constructor like this:

pycam = adafruit_pycamera.PyCamera()
pycam.camera.hmirror = False

Maybe pycam.camera.hmirror = False should be the default?

Yep. Agree. But don't know reasoning behind current default in library.
