Device and method for adjusting image orientation

A camera device (1) is provided with the main camera (16) supported by support structure (10) and the above-mentioned support structure and the auxiliary camera (15) supported by the above-mentioned support structure. If it operates in order that the main camera (16) may picturize a photographic subject's picture, an auxiliary camera (15) will picturize the picture of the user of a camera device (1). A posture detector (17) is connected to an auxiliary camera (15), and the picture features, such as a user's eyes and a mouth, are identified in the picture picturized with the auxiliary camera, and the rotation posture of the picture to a reference position is judged. A data storage device (20, 21) is stored with the posture in which it depends for the image data of the picture picturized with the main camera on the rotation posture judged [above-mentioned]. Thereby, when a picture is picturized, regardless of the posture in which the camera device was held, all the pictures are stored with an ordinary posture.
