x220t Windows 8 Camera upside down

I have had Windows 8 installed for a while and the only thing that never seemed to work right has been the camera. It has been upside down. I searched for all sorts of drivers, registry modifications, and anything I could find. I couldn't get the camera to flip right side up. To the point -> I got it right side up!

Short of all of it is that if Windows 7 settings indicates to flip the camera, then Windows 8 doesn't flip it back. Seems like the camera stores internally whether to flip its output. Once that option is set, Windows 8 drivers don't yet have the option to change them back. Go into Windows 7 and flip the camera back. That'll solve the problem.
