Limitations to Keep in Mind

• Restricted to early-2000s aesthetic constraints; cannot produce modern high-definition clean photography
• Requires portrait or square aspect ratios for authentic mirror selfie composition; landscape formats may appear unnatural
• Limited to indoor bedroom or bathroom settings; outdoor scenes break the mirror selfie context
• May struggle with complex reflective surfaces beyond standard wall mirrors
• Flash photography style can obscure fine facial details compared to soft lighting setups
