[Android-development] QML Camera observations

[Harri Pasanen]

Seems that I was too hasty with the second point below, the rotation has 
nothing to do with
camera.start() / stop().

I'm still trying to figure out why the Camera suddenly started capturing 
in portrait while the orientation is landscape and VideoOutput looks 
correct.
