Auto rotate not working on camera mounted to copy stand

Hi everyone,

I have a new Canon EOS 200D Mark II DSLR camera mounted to a copy stand. As it’s mounted onto the column of the stand, the front of the camera with the on/off switches etc. are facing me. The problem is that when I swing out the LCD screen so that it’s to the right and facing me, the  contents of the screen are upside down. I went into the function settings on the camera and turned off auto-rotate but this hasn’t helped.

I wondered if anyone has any tips on how I can get this to work. Obviously I need the column on the copy stand to be at the back of the base, so I can’t turn the whole copy stand around as it would be too cumbersome to work with.

Has anyone else had this type of setup with the auto-rotate problem and if yes, is there a workaround?

Would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.
