My Canon EOS 750D’s vari-angle LCD used to auto-rotate correctly, but now when I flip or rotate the screen, the display stays upside down instead of adjusting orientation. The camera otherwise seems fine. Is this a setting I can fix, or does it indicate a hardware problem?

This seems to be a camera fault. Most possibly a hardware problem of the position sensor.
If the camera is still new, make a warranty claim. This is an obvious bug.
Good luck.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
This is most likely a hardware fault, not a menu setting. Based on the reports here, the screen’s position/orientation sensor or related microswitch in the articulating display assembly has likely failed, so the camera no longer detects how the LCD is rotated.
What to do:
- Check your manual/settings briefly to confirm auto-rotation behavior hasn’t been disabled, but if it worked before and suddenly stopped, hardware is the likely cause.
- If the camera is under warranty, contact Canon for service.
- If not, have a repair shop inspect it. Community experience here suggests the faulty sensor may be part of the screen assembly and may require replacing the whole LCD unit rather than a small individual part.
If the camera has no signs of impact damage, it can still be a genuine component failure.
