of a single personora plurality of persons simultaneouslywith another party being in a different place, wherein the selecting means is configured
for detecting, by means of the sensor means, in which orientation the housing was placed and, in response to the camera orientation
detected by means of the sensor means, for selecting a zoom factor such that in case the camera lens is generally oriented upwardly a setting is
automatically selected by means of which wide-angle panorama images are generated with a first zoom factor in order to thus allow video conferences with a plurality of persons simultaneously using the camera
