01 / THE IDEA
Less ordinary.
More in-camera.
Make impossible architecture. Invent a second horizon. Turn a familiar corner into something you haven’t seen before.
Mirror Worlds shows your reflections in LiveView. Press the normal shutter button and the effect is already in your Canon CR2 RAW photo. Review it on the camera and keep shooting.
Your focus and Auto ISO still work. Your last settings come back when you restart.
FROM THE CAMERA
Straight from
the EOS M.
The controls. The view. Real on-device screenshots by MAXmade, with the camera overlays intact.
Screen captures, not exported CR2 photos. Select any screenshot to see it at full size. The interactive previews below use an illustrative scene.
02 / FIND YOUR FOLD
What if you
mirrored here?
Pick an edge. Change the size.
See where the scene takes you.
Size means each mirrored border. Opposing edges start at Third, leaving an original center.
JPG, PNG or WebP. Stays in your browser.
These are browser illustrations, not photos captured with the module. The starting scene is AI-generated; the mirrors are calculated by this page. Mirror Worlds itself uses no AI.
03 / SMALL CHANGES, STRANGE PLACES
One scene.
A few other worlds.
Seven placements. Sizes from half to sixth.
There’s plenty of room to play.
04 / CAMERA IN HAND
A little setup.
Then just shoot.
You don’t need to build code or export from a menu. Install the module once, then use your camera.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you head out.
What is Magic Lantern?
Magic Lantern is free, open-source software that adds tools such as focus aids, timelapse and extra photo and video controls to supported Canon cameras. Once installed, it loads from your memory card and runs alongside Canon’s own software. It is an independent community project.
Mirror Worlds is an add-on module for Magic Lantern, so you need Magic Lantern installed before adding mirror.mo. Builds are specific to your camera model and Canon firmware. Start with the official EOS M page and installation instructions, and use the tested setup listed above for Mirror Worlds.
Is the effect really in the RAW?
Yes. The module reflects the sensor samples before Canon writes the CR2. You use the normal shutter button, and Canon handles immediate review and playback. There is no TIFF or DNG conversion, and the module doesn’t create a companion original.
Do I need manual ISO or manual focus?
No. The tested setup uses A+ and Auto ISO. Canon autofocus and exposure continue to work while you compose with the mirror.
Will it remember my settings?
Yes. ON/OFF, mirror placement, width and height save automatically. Leave it ON and it resumes when LiveView is ready after restart. You don’t need a separate save action.
Why can’t I choose Half for opposing edges?
Two half-width borders would leave no original center to reflect. Left + Right, Top + Bottom and All edges therefore start at Third. A single edge can still use Half.
Can I shoot bursts or video?
This release is for single RAW photos. Release the shutter between shots. More mirrored area may take longer to process. Continuous drive, remote triggering, video and long exposures are outside the supported workflow.
