Recording an image of yourself
While looking through the finder of the camera, you can record yourself by
turning the lens toward you.
To prevent images from being inverted or reversed, the camera
automatically enters the inversion/mirror-reverse mode when you turn it
toward yourself. This mode is canceled when the camera is put back into
the normal position.
P Note
Although images are reversed in the finder, they are recorded normally
without being reversed.
