# Camera Screen is Locked and won't Rotate

## Problem

### PAVE Inspect requires that the Portrait Orientation Lock feature on your Android phone be turned off **so that when you** turn the phone sideways, the screen changes to landscape mode. You will not be able to capture images if the phone is in portrait mode.

## Cause

### The Portrait Orientation Lock feature is on causing the screen to stay in portrait mode.

## Solution

### 1) **Click on the “Settings” Icon from your Home Screen**

### 3) Locate the "Rotate to Landscape Mode" button and ensure that it is in the "ON" position, which is to the right.
