Backup Camera Issue - Fisheye

Every once in awhile when I put my truck into reverse, my backup camera comes up with this round fisheye look with no guidelines.  When I shift back into drive or park, it goes back to normal for the few seconds before the screen goes back to its main display.  I have the HD screen.

 

Right now super intermittent, so I'm not going to frustrate myself by trying to get the dealer to replicate the issue.  Just wanted to see if it's common and others are seeing the same thing.  Ironically in the photo below I was actually at the dealership, but it was gone before I could get over to service and show anyone.

 

Always had weird intermittent things with the backup cam on my 2017 as well.

They *mostly* fixed this issue a while back with a software update.  The reason I say mostly is because it is caused by a user turning on the vehicle and immediately putting the vehicle in reverse.  The camera needs time to boot up upon start up and while they did reduce the boot up time, it still is possible to trigger this issue if you super quickly put the vehicle in reverse which is why you only see it every once in a while

Lol... yeah, I am that guy.  No patience.  You know it's 2019 when you start your car and have to wait for the computers to finish booting up.

Mine will do the same thing if I jump in it and start it up, dump it in reverse and start backing out of the garage or out of a parking space quickly. 

 

I am pretty high speed, so ain't nobody got time for waiting for the camera computer to boot up.

Yall with the fisheye issues have the HD camera package? I've never had this happen to my RST with the HD camera. 

 

I read reviews about the fish eye thing on the non-HD camera, which is why I specifically upgraded the infotainment system to the HD rear cam.

Mine did it for first time yesterday. 950 miles.

I have had a lot of quirky infotainment and DIC display issues that are random like this fisheye issue. Most if them I am noticing happen when I start the truck and throw it in gear while the infotainment screen is still loaded. It seems like that throws is for a loop.1dbfde62fd83fafa5e5f87c242dfff6b.jpg

Just got it yesterday.. and, yep, shifted it in reverse right after starting it. Had to look it up to find out what was causing it. Never had it before and I realized it's because I always back in my garage so I never saw it in the mornings.

Mine has just started doing this and I have the HD cam. It did not start until I did the update 2 weeks ago. It will automatically fix itself if you shift out of reverse and put it right back in. Hopefully they will address it in a new update.

Well, Maybe I'm not seeing this (Pun intended) the same as the rest of you guys.. but I would like to have the "fisheye" option abvailable on demand. There are times when backing out between two cars at the mall or something, I beleive the "fisheye" view would come in more handy that the backup grid.. maybe its just me...

You can turn the backup grid off.

I have a 2020 silverado with the custom package and the  SD camera. At 2,500 miles,  it went into the fish eye look and the dealer is trying to tell me it's normal.  Chevy  warranty is worthless

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
