2016 backup camera needs adjustment (not lines)
 

I have a 2016 NISMO with OEM NAV and backup camera. Just yesterday I put it into reverse and the viewing angle has changed. I now see the license plate and bumper in the view, which also reduces my distance view. The camera is secure in its bracket and hasn't physically moved. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I've heard other Nissan models have done this and the dealership says it is a normal view...it is not.

Camera or lens has moved inside the housing?

I don't see how, but something in or with the camera has changed.

I can't envision an electrical problem causing your symptoms. All I can see is physical movement. But I'm no expert on video.

Agree. But the mounting is solid.

I'd disassemble and look for loose parts. YMMV

Anyone hit your bumper?

If they did, there is no sign of it.

May be someone tried to pull of the camera and damaged a component inside the mounting. Or possibly something failed on the unit itself. I say take it back to the dealer and have them asses it and then look at a new vehicle with he backup cam and what its stock rearview is. Then see what the service consultant/manager has to say.

I've already got an appointment. I'll update afterwards. I think there is a failure somewhere inside the camera. You can't adjust the camera or bracket.

I thought it was just me... I have a 2016 Sport and one day I noticed the same thing, I could see my plate all of a sudden. Backing up hasn't really been adjusted, no damage and no one had hit it or tampered with it ( checked cameras).

No idea.

Just got back from Nissan. They didn't tell me much or how it may have happened, but they are ordering a new camera (under warranty).

:tup:

maybe your Z was trying to take a selfie....

I believe my backup camera is having a similar issue. Seems like it's not getting a full view when in reverse, bottom corners almost appear to be blocked out. I don't recall it being like this before. What was the issue and how did the camera perform after the replacement?

I think this is normal. Only have 300Km on a 2018 Nismo and I have the same thing.

Normal to become out of adjustment or normal view for a Nismo? My touring camera is normal, I don't see my license plate when backing up... not yet anyway.

Seems fine and normal too me. I hate how the camera is off too the one side though. I wonder if it has anything to do with putting the trunk lid down too hard?

They replaced the camera...no change.

Think its safe too say that this is the normal position. My camera is rock solid and does not look like its out of position on the inside either. Doesn't really bother me aslong as the guidelines are correct, which they seem to be.

Maybe there's an electronic adjustment on what the camera can see? Mine looks straight back, I can see the ground directly behind me and straight out. The area where the camera is mounted, is it different from a non-NISMO? I wouldn't think so but you never know.

This seems to imply there may be electronic settings... http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/4...2011-370z.html

not the first time I saw "dealer" and asses" in the same sentence! :bowrofl:

hello, can you post of pic of what your camera view looks like now, I just picked up a 2017 nismo and noticed that my view has changed also and would like to compare.

thanks,

You can probably check the following settings and/or make adjustments:

To get to these settings you will need to preform the following steps:

1. Turn the Radio Off
2. Press and hold the "Settings" button.
3. Without releasing the "Settings" button turn the volume control counter clockwise until the Diagnostic menu appears.
4. Once the Diagnostic menu appears, you can release the "Settings" button.
5. Select "Confirmation/Adjustment" from the menu.
6. Select "Camera" from the menu.
7. Select "Alter/Confirm Configuration" from the menu.

You can use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the list of variables. When finished just press the "Back" button repeatedly until the navigation system returns to normal operation.
