I think you understood correct, with a small difference: I need actual QImage in correct orientation, not just Image capable to show it properly.
For now I temporarily gave up searching right solution and instead of using 'onImageSaved' started using 'onImageCaptured' and then stealing QImage from Qt image cache. As I understand 'onImageCaptured' gives just a preview, but I haven't noticed any focus issues or resolution issues or other major issues (well, maybe there is something wrong with white balance) for preview image.
As for the metadata - I tried it before, but for some reasons metaData.orientation was 'undefined' in my case. I need to check on different device to be fully sure I can't trust metadata.
