Apparatus and methods for the implementation of an orientation-based user interface. In one embodiment, a method for implementing an orientation-based user interface is disclosed. The method includes determining an orientation of an image capture device via use of an orientation sensor; associating the determining of the orientation with functionality for the image capture device; and enabling the functionality for the image capture device associated with the determining of the orientation. Image capture devices, computing systems, computer-readable apparatus and systems for the purposes of implementing orientation-based user interfaces are also disclosed.
