Camera won’t lock pointing forward

Took my Typhoon H out for the first time in several months. I performed all calibrations, then took off. All was well, flew for about 10 minutes. As I was maneuvering for landing, I noticed the camera pointing forward (relative to the H), but was holding its position regardless of the yawing H. All other commands work;tilt, the camera yaw control, taking photos and videos, etc.
Any ideas as to cause?
 
Check the position of the Pan Mode switch (K2) located beside the Pan Control knob. Your description could be interpreted at least two ways, but each behavior is established by one of the positions of that switch.

"I noticed the camera pointing forward (relative to the H),"
If the camera always points to the front of the TH, the switch is probably in the top position. (Or a slipring related wire has lost contact, etc.)

"but was holding its position regardless of the yawing H.:
If the camera always points to the same compass direction regardless of drone heading, the system is probably in "CCC" mode and the switch is in the bottom position.
Update: I'm not sure it has to be in any of the "Task" modes at all.

If none of this helps, please clarify the behavior.

Thanks for the quick responses. I haven’t worked on my H yet due to medical issues. Will get back to it soon and advise.
Thanks again and happy to know this forum is still active. The H is a very good uas, just wish the flight time was longer.
