When you are taking photos of yourself in the front camera, people naturally expect to see the same as if they look in a mirror, so the preview is flipped horizontally. Writing is reversed etc.
When the photo is taken, it then takes the real image, without the flipping, so you dont get reversed writing. So it is the preview that is "wrong", not the final image.
