(a) Between O and F: Position of the image is behind the mirror; nature of the image is virtual, erect and highly magnified.

(b) Between F and C: Position of the image is beyond C; nature of the image is real, inverted and magnified.

(c) Beyond C: Position of the image is between C and F; nature of the image is real, inverted and diminished.
