Q.

It is said that, when light hits a mirror and reflects, our mind predicts that it might be coming from a point opposite to the mirror. But when we use a camera to capture a image in the mirror, we see same as we see from our eyes. Why camera captures the same we see since it don't have brain to make it predict that light is coming from some other point?
