Horizontal mirror function
All Marlin cameras are equipped with an
electronic mirror function
, which
mirrors pixels from the left side of the image to the right side and vice versa.
The mirror is centered to the actual
FOV
center and can be combined with all
image manipulation functions, like
binning
,
shading
and
DSNU
.
This function is especially useful when the camera is looking at objects with
the help of a mirror or in certain microscopy applications.
