1. A method of camera operation, comprising:
capturing, using a capture device comprising a first camera and a second camera, a video using one of the first camera or the second camera based on a capture orientation mode and a current orientation of the capture device; and
storing, after capturing, the video in a video file;
wherein the current orientation is determined based on signals from multiple sensors comprising one or more accelerometers or a screen orientation sensor, wherein at least a first sensor is disposed on a long edge of the capture device and a second sensor is disposed on a short edge of the capture device and wherein the current orientation is determined based on a linearly weighted average of signals from the multiple sensors.
