I have a 2020 Rav4 xle hybrid. The back up camera is pointing down where I can see the license plate. Before I would not see the plate. Somehow the camera position has changed. Is there anyway to adjust the camera angle to be raised up slightly?

Interesting, you are the 2nd person in about a week with this report,
and a response was "that's how it is".

Backup Camera viewing angle dropped
Put our ‘21 Prime in reverse yesterday and noticed the rear hatch, license plate, and bumper visible in the bottom of the screen. The camera wasn’t bumped as far as I know and feels securely attached. Any ideas what may could cause it to fall out of alignment and what I can check before I...

I don't really use mine but I did just look at mine and it looks like the picture from the thread I linked.
I don't know what value it would bring to parking if you couldn't see the vehicle relative to an obstacle.
Even if it were tilted up enough for the plate to not be visible, there isn't anything to be gained. You can already see the neighbors front yard, there is plenty of view.

I believe that what you are seeing is normal and the reason why you are seeing the license plate is because the camera uses a wide angle lens. If it is going to show a wider view to the left and to the right, it will also show a wider view from top to bottom.

In my 2022 Limited, the view that @NoMoreDomestic posted is the same. I didn't notice the plates until I went looking for it. Also @lesz explanation is spot on.

2022 LE gas. I disconnected/removed my battery for 30 minutes. When I reconnected battery, I noticed that rear camera was now showing more of license plate.

on my MY23 rav4 the rear camera has a number of view options you can set from the multimedia menu...eg wide or narrow view. Could that be the issue?
2020 xse hybrid. I got rear ended but the camera and upper body of the car was unharmed. After they replaced the bottom bumper and I got my car back you could see a lot of my license plate. It’s bothered me deeply since, I took it back to the shop immediately to show them and they just told me it was normal and like that before. I had no proof of course.

This just happened to my parents 2022 xse prime. I have the exact same car, so I'm very familiar with the camera view. Now, about a third of their license plate is in view, compared to the sliver that normally is. Glad this thread exists to validate my concern!
