Taking a picture of a reflected image of object is depicted in this image. Camera focus is on the image of a piece of paper.

Besides the depth of field (cheap *Panasonic DMC-FX8* in makro mode, compact camera) I'm content with the picture.

**Defects on the mirror**

* The mirror has imperfections like small areas with missing golden mirror film.
* Defects near the rim of the mirror are hard to focus on. Autofocus focuses on the piece of paper instead the mirror surface. I understand that. Possibly manual focus should do the job. Maybe there is a trick to work around?

**The Question**

Is it possible to take the photo using the *Panasonic DMC-FX8*? If yes, how to focus on the defect area on the mirror?
