I have two issues with the backup camera on my North-American spect 2017 F-Type S.

First, the camera angle is very narrow. It provides a limited field of view, almost like a zoom lens, and makes it difficult to avoid obstacles that are even slightly off to the side. Second, the dynamic guidelines overstate the distance to obstacles. When the guideline indicates that I am at or on the obstacle (i.e. as close as can be), I am actually half a meter away.

Some people have indicated that the camera angle is adjustable, and can in fact be adjusted to have a wide angle. Is this the case? If not, has anyone tried replacing their stock backup camera with a different one?

 

I don't think any lens can be adjusted to have wide angle, that is a function of the lens itself. Maybe you could get away with a stick on wide angle lens made for a camera phone or something...

Do you have a pic of the backup camera display? It would be easier to tell if something seems off.
