Vision system for vehicle with adjustable camera

A vehicular vision system, said vehicular vision system comprising:

• a side-mounted camera disposed at a side of a vehicle equipped with said vehicular vision system;
• wherein said side-mounted camera comprises an image sensor having a two dimensional array of a plurality of photosensor elements arranged in at least 640 columns and 480 rows;
• wherein said two dimensional array comprises at least 1 million photosensor elements;
• wherein, responsive to traveling speed of the equipped vehicle, said vehicular vision system adjusts said side-mounted camera between (i) capturing image data representative of a ground region at the side of the equipped vehicle at which said side-mounted camera disposed and (ii) capturing image data representative of regions further away from the equipped vehicle;
• and
• wherein said side-mounted camera is operable to adjust between (i) capturing image data representative of the ground region at the side of the equipped vehicle at which said side-mounted camera is disposed when the equipped vehicle is traveling below a threshold speed level and (ii) capturing image data representative of regions further away from the equipped vehicle when the equipped vehicle is traveling at or above the threshold speed level.
