1. A medical system comprising:
an entry guide;
a display; and
a processor configured to:
receive state information for an articulatable image capture device controllably extendable out of a distal end of the entry guide;
generate a view including a graphical representation of a distal end portion of the articulatable image capture device as determined from the received state information and a graphical representation of a field of view of the articulatable image capture device extending distally from the distal end portion of the articulatable image capture device; and
cause the view to be displayed on the display.
