# 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.

_If you turn the phone sideways and the screen stays the same, your Portrait Orientation Lock is likely on._

## 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
