A backup camera system for a motor vehicle includes a rear-view camera capturing images of a scene behind the motor vehicle. An electronic image processor is communicatively coupled to the rear view camera and is operable in a normal mode and in a hitch assist backup mode. When in the hitch assist backup mode, the electronic image processor removes distortion to a greater degree in a first portion of the images than in a second portion of the images. The first portion of the images includes physical elements that are farther away from the camera than are physical elements in the second portion of the images. A video presentation device presents the images to a human driver of the motor vehicle after the images have been processed by the electronic image processor.
