ABSTRACT:
An endoscope and camera are described with which a display observed through the optics in the endoscope is rotated to a desired orientation using an accelerometer. The accelerometer generates a signal indicative of the local vertical and is used in the particular embodiment to rotate a CCD image sensor aligned with the optical axis of the endoscope so as to maintain a desired orientation of a display of the image on a monitor.
