Frame is rotated

You see

The Camera panel captures an image that is rotated or flipped from how you expected, bed appears sideways, upside down, or mirrored.

What is happening

Either the camera is physically mounted in an orientation different from what Beam Bench expects, or the camera reports a non-standard image orientation.

Fix

If the camera is physically rotated

Easiest fix: rotate the camera physically so its image is upright when looking at the bed normally.

If you cannot rotate the camera physically, you can compensate via the alignment step, when you set up alignment points, the camera coordinates can map to any workspace orientation, including 90°-rotated.

See Align the overlay.

If the camera reports a non-standard orientation

Some cameras report their orientation via the USB descriptor. Most OSes honor this; some do not. If your camera is reporting "rotated 90°" but the OS does not flip the image, you get a sideways frame.

Workaround: physical re-mount, or use alignment to compensate.

If the frame is mirrored

Mirroring is rare but happens with some cameras. Re-run alignment with the points in mirrored positions, the math handles arbitrary orientation including mirror.

If the OS sees it correctly but Beam Bench does not

Could be a Beam Bench bug. Verify with the OS's camera app, if the image is upright there but rotated in Beam Bench, file a feedback report with screenshots of both.

Verify it worked

• The captured frame shows the bed in the same orientation as your physical viewpoint.
• Or, after alignment, the overlay places correctly on the canvas regardless of frame orientation.

Still stuck?

• Align the overlay guide.
• Camera panel reference.
• Send a feedback report with screenshots.
