Description of the data path
8.11 Horizontal mirror function
All Marlin cameras are equipped with an electronic mirror functio , 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.
Mirror can be controlled with the following advanced register:

The use of the mirror function with color cameras and image output in RAW format has
implications on the BAYER- ordering of the colors:
Mirror OFF: R-G-G-B Mirror ON: G-R-B-G
