Default Backup Camera Image

I feel that the image that the backup camera projects is flat. It could use some more contrast. Seems mushy, not that it isn't in focus, just not enough color separation to give a clear image.

Anyway to adjust this?

good question I thought the same thing. I read the manual didn't see anything. I'm going to ask the dealer on Tuesday I'll keep you posted.

I think my 16 has a better picture than my 14 had. You should see the Chevrolet camera, it is absolutely horrible.

It's not great in low light and it gets fouled easily from road grime. I am really starting to notice the camera's limitations now that I have tinted front windows and have to rely on the camera at night more than I ever did before.

The camera on my flip phone has better quality then the one mounted on our trucks. Is sure the monitor technology has something to do with it also.

A little bit of Rain-X has helped a lot with the grime on mine.

We have a 15 Malibu and the camera is absolutely HORRIBLE compared to the F150!
