14 Claims

1. A data capture device, comprising:

a housing;

a display supported by the housing;

a primary image sensor supported by the housing and having a primary field of view centered on a primary optical axis;

an auxiliary image sensor supported by the housing and having an auxiliary field of view centered on an auxiliary optical axis, wherein the auxiliary field of view is larger than the primary field of view;

a memory storing offset data defining an offset between the primary field of view and the auxiliary field of view;

a data capture controller connected to the primary image sensor, the auxiliary image sensor and the memory, wherein the data capture controller is configured to:

responsive to activation of an aiming mode, control the auxiliary image sensor to capture a video stream within the auxiliary field of view,

select, according to the offset data, a portion of the video stream corresponding to the primary field of view of the primary image sensor, and

present the selected portion of the video stream, based on the offset data, on the display.
