Ah, wait, I maybe know what the problem is. The pic was taken holding the
device "portrait", but, since the camera app seems only to support
landscape mode, this picture is actually originally rotated 90°. Wondering
why then I see the preview rotated "correctly"... But that's not important,
I guess.
When I take the pics holding the device "landscape" the resulting pic has
the "correct" rotation.
