How to fix the problem of the screen viewing is now like a mirror effect to the objects it is seeing and the wording is viewed also like you would see it looking through a mirror. Now if you flip the view...
Panasonic Viewfinder - Mirror image:
Although I don't own a Panasonic, my Samsung and JVC camcorders have this flipped image function, so I guess most are similar in theory.
The mirror image is a function used for taking selfies, or where you want the subject to frame themselves while previewing the image on-screen.
This only affects the viewfinder screen, not the saved video or still, which remains as normal.
To correct this, you need to navigate to the 'settings' menu, exact location depending flavor of camera.
There should be an option for "self-portrait" mode or similar.
Switch this back to normal mode.
Why mirrored?
When screen is rotated 180 degrees to face subject in normal mode, they would see an inverted image, so the "selfie" function flips the graphic to compensate.

Clive.
