    I was just tesing out the integrated camera on my new x200. When I webcam with someone on MSN, I noticed that my image is flipped.

    My laptop is placed a little bit to the left of me and I'm using a BT kb and mouse, and am sitting right infront of an external monitor. That means that a person on MSN should see me on the left of the webcam image on his MSN. But the image of me shown on my MSN window has me on the opposite side.

    Any ideas? :confused:

    so it's not flipped, more like mirrored. i'd take a look at the camera settings, i'm sure you can change this somewhere.

    There is a setting in MSN to mirror your image. Just uncheck that. To you, it looks like a mirror but your friend will see you normally.

    This seems quite normal with webcams. On a Mac you can set it to auto-flip it back to normal in Photo Booth, you should be able to find some sort of setting.

    It looks flipped to you but it will look normal to the other viewer. If you unflip your image, then the viewer will see u backwards
