Describe the issue/problem and steps to reproduce
Hardware is Pi Zero 2W with the Pi Camera v2. I rebuilt motion from source using the current repo today, but the issue still exists.
Since recent software updates, videos have changed to show only about 1/4 of the full camera field. I can capture an image via rpicam-jpeg and I get the full image, which is 3280x2464. I specify 1600x1200 width and height in my camera config file. Previously I would see the full camera field scaled to that size. Now it is as though it is cropped to 1600x1200, I only see the top-left 1/4 of the image.

Did you read the guide?
Yes
What is the base version number of Motion being used?
Motion 5.0.0-git-20260414-10bb267
What was the install method?
Built from source code
What is base architecture?
ARM-64bit
What is the distro being used?
Raspbian
Disto version number
13/trixie (Raspberry Pi OS Lite)
Camera/Sound type(s) being used?
PI camera via libcam
Describe the issue/problem and steps to reproduce
Hardware is Pi Zero 2W with the Pi Camera v2. I rebuilt motion from source using the current repo today, but the issue still exists.
Since recent software updates, videos have changed to show only about 1/4 of the full camera field. I can capture an image via rpicam-jpeg and I get the full image, which is 3280x2464. I specify 1600x1200 width and height in my camera config file. Previously I would see the full camera field scaled to that size. Now it is as though it is cropped to 1600x1200, I only see the top-left 1/4 of the image.
Relevant Motion log output (at log_level 8)
I believe the issue was caused by updates that I applied on 15May:
