3.9 Mirror Image
A600f monochrome cameras include a mirror image feature. When the mirror image feature is
active, the image will be “reflected” on its vertical, center axis before it is transmitted out of the
camera. In essence, this is accomplished by transmitting the pixels in each line in descending
order rather than the normal ascending order. In other words, when mirror imaging is not enabled,
the order of transmission for the pixels in each line is pixel 0, pixel 1, pixel 2, etc. When mirror
imaging is enabled, the order of transmission is pixel 655, pixel 654, pixel 653, etc.
The mirror image feature is enabled by setting the camera to operate in Format_7, Mode_3. This
is accomplished by setting the Cur_V_Format control register (see page 4-8) to 7 and the
Cur_V_Mode control register to 3.

Be aware that if you are using the area of interest feature (see Section 3.6) and you
enable mirror imaging, the apparent location of your area of interest may change. You
may need to adjust the location and size of the area of interest.
When mirror imaging is enabled, the Image_Position and Image_Size control registers
for Format_7, Mode_3 are used to adjust the area of interest.
