Problem with reversing camera

Hi everyone. I own a MY2010 C63 calcite white which I have owned for 18 months . One of the options for my car is a reversing camera which up until a month ago has been absolutely fine. I previously used to get A FULL SCREEN image with no part of the bumper visible which looked great. Unfortunately one day I noticed a problem with the image which I have attached with the post. I got a large portion of the bumper showing which is uneven and in my opinion decreases the usefulness and looks odd. I have no idea what caused this, I did not have a bump, damage the lens etc. I took it to my local MB dealer who claim this is a normal image and even showed me another C63 with the same image.

I would be grateful if anyone who has a factory fitted reversing camera would be able to tell me if their image is full screen or does it have any part of their bumper showing. Even better would be if you could post the image that you see.

Any help appreciated

Ill post an image later tonight but that looks normal.

In fact, you need to see the bumper. The camera is quite good to see how close you are to something before you hit. Thus, seeing the bumper allows you to gauge that better.

I was wondering how my rear camera was aimed to I uploaded a photo so you could compare.

As far as I can remember, my camera has always had the same up/down view.
