Abstract
An area is imaged with a non-standard aspect ratio, e.g. wide aspect ratio, digital imager to produce pixels of image data. At least a portion of the produced pixels of image data corresponding to the captured non-standard aspect ratio image is displayed beginning, for a given frame of pixels of image data, at a column of pixels of image data corresponding to a predetermined column of imaged pixels. The number of columns of display pixels is different than the number of columns of imaged pixels. Motion is detected in the imaged pixels so that a motion responsive portion of the imaged pixels corresponding to the captured non-standard aspect ratio image corresponding to a window of the imaged pixels having motion detected therein can be displayed.
