There are reports of this from Windows users too. Maybe it's a "feature"? (In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > When using Cheese, Ekiga or other software the webcam image displayed is > mirrored. > Can you be a bit more verbose? When you raise your right hand, do you see the cheese image also raise its right hand (so to you as viewer of your own image the hand to the left of your head on the image), or do you see the hand raise to the right of the head in the image, as if looking in a mirror ? (In reply to comment #1) > There are reports of this from Windows users too. Maybe it's a "feature"? I haven't tested it with Windows. Searching at Google I found some Windows users complaining about something similar in specific programs, but doesn't seem a common issue for HP webcams.

I am sorry I wasn't clear enough. The image isn't actually like a mirror. It is horizontally flipped (I guess this description is more accurate). It is more like the first case you described. If I use the cheese "Horizontal Flip" effect I get the right image. (In reply to comment #4) > (In reply to comment #2) > > Can you be a bit more verbose?

It is horizontally flipped (I guess > this description is more accurate). It is more like the first case you > described. If I use the cheese "Horizontal Flip" effect I get the right image. If it is like the first case, then everything is working fine, it is a camera, imagine sitting behind the screen looking at yourself, if you then raise your right hand, to the other you behind the screen that will be the hand on (his) left side. Or as they say on Dutch television to my right, for the viewers at home to the left, you see.. You can easily check this by holding up a piece of paper with some LARGE text on it. If you can read it normally the camera is behaving as it should. I guess you're right, although I saw other webcams behaving differently, this makes sense. I did the text test and it is all fine. Anyway, thanks for the support! |
