Change in Backup Camera Angle
I just noticed today that my backup camera now shows part of the rear bumper and perhaps some of the chrome. There's also a strange, small, somewhat circular thing in the upper right corner of the screen. With my Matador Red exterior, I'm sure I would have noticed it before today on the backup camera.
Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks for any insight! I've attached a picture...

Your camera may have simply moved. While I'm not exactly sure how the cameras are attached to our cars as I haven't looked very closely, the most plausible explanation is that it just moved.
You try gently moving it? If it came loose, see how it is attached. If it's permanently fixed, it may have just loosened, either the housing or the camera within the housing. I'm sure there are brute-force fixes by just manually manipulating it back into place (with the assistance of someone else viewing the camera while you gently try and nudge it).
Since it's one of those wide angle fisheye type lenses, it wouldn't take much to throw the image off so it could be a matter of millimeters. Now the trick, assuming you can put it back, is why it moved to begin with and how you can prevent from moving again.
Lol, I'm just speculating, but seems totally plausible to me.

It has links to a service menu where you can adjust the lens. Don't know if it'll work with the LS however.

I also can see the bumper in mine the same way. Mine is a little more centered but its a refresh model and the camera was probably moved.
The circular thing in the corner looks like a water droplet to me.

In other news, with the help of some other threads, I accessed the service and diagnostic menus for my car. Unfortunately, the camera option was grayed-out, and I wasn't able to figure out how to activate it. I'll start a separate thread, in case it would help anyone with 2010 - 2012 MY's. This might just work on Generation 6 navigation, but that's a guess.
Thanks for everyone's input!
