I am not sure how you are going to use those captured image further . . . so if you are going to capture and just display it in an Imageview better rotate it to 90 degree and set the bitmap using the following code

public static Bitmap rotate(Bitmap b, int degrees) 
{
    if (degrees != 0 && b != null) 
    {
        Matrix m = new Matrix();

        m.setRotate(degrees, (float) b.getWidth() / 2, (float) b.getHeight() / 2);
        try {
            Bitmap b2 = Bitmap.createBitmap(b, 0, 0, b.getWidth(), b.getHeight(), m, true);
            if (b != b2) 
            {
                b.recycle();
                b = b2;
            }
        } catch (OutOfMemoryError ex) 
        {
           throw ex;
        }
    }
    return b;
}

or if you are going to save it to the SDcard and use it , after taking picture rotate the bitmap using former code and then save it in sdcard .
