Is there a way to set up your camera to view yourself?

I have the Olympus stylus tough shockproof/waterproof camera, but when I take videos of myself I can't exactly tell if I'm getting my whole face and if it's focusing where I want it to. I was wondering if there was a way to make it so I could see my video as I'm recording it on my computer screen so I could see myself while I do my video. Help please?


Answer
The only thing that might work is something like this camera remote mirror - which lets you see the LCD from the front of the camera. You will show up backwards in the mirror, but at least you can compose the scene.

However, the Olympus is a heavy camera for a compact camera so the extender might not work very well. I assume though that you could tripod mount the mirror part without a problem.

What's the best way to take great photos from a kayak?

I love photography & also flat water kayaking and very much want to merge my two favorite hobbies. I have a Nikon D5100, but not sure there's a safe way to take it out with me, so I'm wondering if there's a casing I can use or if I should buy a compact waterproof camera just for kayaking. I'd definitely prefer my D5100 because of it's amazing photo quality & zoom, but I do not want to risk damaging it.
When we go kayaking, we spend a great deal of time just relaxing and enjoying nature. It's not a race



Answer
Don't know about that model but I do know you can get cases for some Nikon's. Failing that is probably safest to paddle a canoe (nice and stable and room to manoeuvre), wrap you camera in a waterproof bag or peli-type case and then just take it out when you want to shoot some pics. Or as you say get a waterproof camera - either use stand alone or get a mount and fix it to your boat or wear a helmet and fix it to that.
