Angry 360 camera - low end visual

I have a 2022 GLC 300 for a few months now. The 360 camera to me is not very easy to see (not clear & crisp) I thought it is my eyesight since I wear reading glasses. I happened to be in my friend's Rav4 and the camera was clear and easy to see. I know there is no ligament answer, but why is the camera in a 24K car superior to my 56K car?

I have both a GLC and GLE and the images are clear. The only thing I can think of at the moment is are your camera lenses dirty?

I've never driven a RAV4, but the camera image is relatively small in the Benzes. I had the same issue with my '19 C63S coupe. I couldn't discern the camera image very well, particularly the side view. I actually curbbed one of my wheels, despite the lines that help to line up the car with the curb. Then one day I happened to wear my reading glasses while I was maneuvering my car around and realized that the camera image is actually super sharp, crisp and detailed, but the problem were my eyes. I realized at that point that even the digital instrument cluster actually looked fuzzy to me w/o glasses. That was the trigger for me to ask my optometrist about wearing contacts. I now wear multifocal contact lenses to correct my presbyopia and couldn't be happier. FWIW, I only have a light prescription, +1.00 R and +1.25 L. I'd suggest go to your car, wear your reading glasses and if you can see the camera properly with the glasses then you have the same issue. If it's still not good, then there's an issue with the camera.
