1. A camera, comprising:
an image sensor configured to capture an input image having a source aspect ratio, the input image including pixels located at input positions defined along a first axis and a second axis, the first axis perpendicular to the second axis, wherein a portion of the input image includes a subset of the pixels;
a display coupled to one or more physical processors; and
the one or more physical processors configured to:
obtain the input image;
generate an output image by applying a transformation to the input image, the output image having a target aspect ratio different than the source aspect ratio, the output image including the pixels located at output positions defined along the first axis and the second axis; and
present the output image on the display;
wherein:
the transformation changes the pixels from being located at the input positions in the input image to the output positions in the output image based on (1) the input positions along the first axis, and (2) the input positions along the second axis, wherein differences between the input positions and the output positions of the subset of the pixels within the portion are less than differences between the input positions and the output positions of others of the pixels.
