1. A camera, comprising:
- a camera lens;
acquisition circuitry configured to receive images via said camera lens to acquire a first field of view if said camera lens is in a first orientation and to acquire a second field of view if said camera lens is in a second orientation;
perspective conversion circuitry configured to perform a perspective correction operation on at least a strip portion of said first field of view; and
a viewfinder configured to display the second field of view if said camera lens is in the second orientation and to display at least a portion of the first field of view at least partially composited with the second field of view, wherein said portion of the first field of view comprises said strip portion of the first field of view.
