Should the image on the Backup camera look like this?

I noticed that the view changed after a long road trip on my new GK. Should it look like this with the halo at the bottom. I did clean it with a soft cloth and water.

Looks normal since that appears to be the wide view.

Did you bump the number "1" or press "select" and accidentally change your camera view by any chance?

Sometimes the image will overlay the lines improperly if it senses an elevation change giving it a weird appearance. It does appear normal.

You are correct - I bumped the select knob. I was documented in the owners' manual so shame on me. I'll consult it in the future before posting.

that's not a "halo' at the bottom, that's the bumper and other parts of the rear of the car, looking through a wide-angle lens. The closer to the lens something is, the more it is curved by a wide angle lens.
