Device and method for data capture aiming assistance

A method in a data capture device, the method comprising:

• storing offset data in a memory of the data capture device, the offset data defining an offset between a primary field of view of a primary image sensor and an auxiliary field of view of an auxiliary image sensor;
• responsive to activation of an aiming mode, controlling the auxiliary image sensor to capture a video stream within the auxiliary field of view;
• selecting, according to the offset data, a portion of the video stream corresponding to the primary field of view of the primary image sensor;
• and
• presenting the selected portion of the video stream on a display of the data capture device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions executable by a controller of a data capture device to cause the data capture device to:

• store offset data in a memory of the data capture device, the offset data defining an offset between a primary field of view of a primary image sensor and an auxiliary field of view of an auxiliary image sensor;
• 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;
• and
• present the selected portion of the video stream on a display of the data capture device, based on the offset data between the auxiliary field of view and the primary field of view.
