Adjusting lines on back-up camera?

Can the lines in the back up camera be realigned or adjusted? I am asking as I also drive a 2016 Mustang GT equipped with the back-up camera and those lines are dead on. I can back my mustang into my garage without readjusting my clearance. When you slot into a parking spot those lines are right on the money.

My 2015 F150 is a different story. If I slot my truck right up the center of the parking spot with the lines evenly spaced inside the lines on the ground, the truck is actually so far to the left that the tires are on the left side line. I always have to readjust to get into the spot quasi-centered. If I place the right side guide line right on the line, it is some what centered. It gets to be a PITA. Can the guide lines be adjusted or realigned? The camera is centered in the tailgate, below the handle.

TIA

According to the link below, the dealer may be able to recalibrate it.

Never rely on electronics.......one should always get in the habit of using the mirrors.

True but if you are not to rely on them why are the installed in the vehicle. I do use my mirrors but sometimes it is hard to see the lines unless I practically sit on my center console!

That post only concerns cars equipped with the 360 camera of which my truck does not have.

Did you ever resolve this? I'm having the same issue with a new f350.
