Answer:

According to a source, mirrors produce more accurate images than cameras. This is because mirrors simply reflect the object and reverse it, while cameras are affected by various factors that can alter the quality of the image, such as angles, lenses, camera quality, distortion, and more. Mirror images are also natural, 3D and familiar to us, which makes us perceive them as more accurate than photos.

However, another source suggests that camera images show how others see us, while mirror images provide a more accurate perception of self due to the mere exposure effect. To ensure accuracy when taking photos, use the back camera of your phone and experiment with lighting and angles.

In summary, while both mirrors and cameras have their strengths and limitations, mirrors are generally considered to produce more accurate images of oneself.
