Backup Camera field of view

[kpedraja]

This sounds like an odd question, but does everyone see their bumper when using the backup camera. I don't recall noticing it for the first 9 months I owned the car but now that I've seen it I can't unsee it. It's it always like this? I'm wondering if maybe the camera was dislodged somehow...

Yes, it's very useful when you're trying to back up close to something. I think all cars have the camera aimed like this.

Yup, the camera field of view has always been able to see the rear bumper.

I think in the most recent update 2019.28.3.1 adjusted the edges to see a lot further where you see the edges of the trunk.

Yep normal.

Normal for me, too. Oh, and....

now that I've seen it I can't unsee it.

Ok, I thought I was going crazy...I knew it could always see the edge of the bumper, but I didn't remember being able to see that much. It confused the heck out of me the first time I backed up after the update.

Yeah this definitely just changed all of a sudden and not directly due to an update either. I had updated 2 days ago.
