Hey all, thanks for a great product and a very helpful forum! I tried searching but couldn't find an answer to this: is it possible to enable mirrored/reverse LiveView on an non-flip-out LCD camera? I have a Canon 500D and I use a flipbac device to view the screen. It's a mirror that attaches to the bottom of the lcd so I can look down while shooting and see the display, since my camera doesn't have a flip-out LCD (my ghetto cheap alternative). Is there any way to enable the display options to reverse the image so it appears normal in the reflection? I saw this option is coded into the ML for other cameras, is there a way to activate it in mine? I have the option to enable Upside-Down mode but that's not exactly what I need.
can you compile ML?
With those line added to features.h in platform/500D folder I can compile ML without errors, but don't know if screen mirroring will work on 500D.
#define CONFIG_VARIANGLE_DISPLAY
#define DISPLAY_ORIENTATION 0
(second line is not in the correct place, but I've added it there for simplicity)
I added those lines to features.h but got errors:

There are some stubs.S missing for 500D don't know why it compiled at firs on mine, now I have the same error as you.
//For 600D
NSTUB( 0xFF33BF7C, MirrorDisplay )
NSTUB( 0xFF33BFDC, NormalDisplay )
NSTUB( 0xFF33BFAC, ReverseDisplay )
those are in the 600D folder, I don't know how you can find them on 500D, if you can found them it should work.
Thanks. That compiled, but the menu option doesn't show up on my camera. I'll do some digging around.
Never ever use stubs for another camera. This will jump to some arbitrary address in Canon firmware, what if it jumps to EraseSectorOfRom? ;)
