Thread starter iRyanMac Start date Jan 28, Joined Jan 28, Messages 2 Reaction score 0 Points 1. Hello, My MacBook, currently on version When I use it, it is a mirror effect. I've seen and used cameras that do not come out as mirror effects. Is there anyway to fix mine so it doesn't do a mirror effect?

If you don't know what that is, a mirror effect is when the image switches position and look basically. It's flipped. Example: if you a read the word, "Macintosh", it looks like "Macintosh". In mirror effect, it looks like, "hsotnicaM". I'm not sure there is anything you can do to change this.

In Photo Booth and iChat, the image from the iSight camera is flipped However do a movie recording with Quicktime Pro and image is not flipped. Weird I know, but I haven't found a way to change this so far. Alright, thanks for your help. Which app are you using and what sort of problem is this causing?

Different apps work differently. We are so accustomed to seeing ourselves in the mirror that it looks strange the other way.

And I want to avoid having to turn the book around to read the words before turning it back to face the child camera. In other words, so I can read the book off my computer screen? If such an app existed separately, I could have it open alongside the FaceTime app.

Having a hard time visualizing that configuration.
