Mirror Worlds - Canon EOS M Mirror Photography

A different point of view

On-device EOS M LiveView screenshot showing orange, yellow and black artwork mirrored around the center — Captured directly on the original Canon EOS M by MAXmade, with camera overlays intact.

This is an on-device LiveView screenshot, not an exported CR2 photo. The examples below are browser-rendered illustrations using an AI-generated starting scene. Mirror Worlds itself uses no AI.

Project Overview

Mirror Worlds turns the original Canon EOS M into a tool for creative reflection photography. Fold a building into impossible architecture, invent a second horizon, or surround a subject with mirrored borders. Compose the effect in LiveView, press the normal shutter button, and keep the result in a Canon CR2 RAW photo.

Made for the original Canon EOS M

Mirror Worlds is an add-on module for an existing Magic Lantern installation. It was developed and tested on the original Canon EOS M; other cameras and other EOS M models have not been validated.

Camera: Original Canon EOS M · Canon firmware 2.0.2
Magic Lantern: Dev build 2025-06-20 · EOSM.202
Tested shooting setup: A+ · Auto ISO · Canon RAW · single-shot drive
LiveView: Native 1× view · Global Draw ON

The supported workflow is single RAW photos. Bursts, video, remote triggers, and long exposures are outside its scope. The module saves the mirrored result without a companion original; turn the effect off to take ordinary photos.

Choose a fold. Take a photo.

Download the prebuilt module from GitHub and follow the installation guide for your camera setup. Once enabled, choose the edges and sizes under Shoot → Mirror Worlds, close the menu, and use the physical shutter. Your last settings return after a restart.
