I'm not sure where this might fit in the proposed APIs. Further, it could be useful to provide a way to query the video source as to whether the camera is oriented relative to the screen (if the underlying system knows; consider a phone device with both a main camera and self-view camera). This is needed to drive the decision on whether to do this horizontal flip or not. In fact, such an application may want to somehow indicate a preference for the self-view camera when multiple cameras are present in the selection list. c.f. a movie-making app which would prefer the outward facing camera
