Contradiction in FOV specifications?

Hardware ZED Mini
1

Looking at the specs, the field of view for the Zed Mini is listed as 102° x 57°.

However, on this page, the widest FOV listed for the Zed Mini is in WVGA mode and is only 85° x 54°! I understand that the rectified image may be somewhat smaller than the lens depending on format, but this is a major reduction in FOV.

For reference, the Zed X Mini shows 110° x 80° in the specification, and 105° x 78° as the maximum FOV in the rectified table, which is much more consistent.

So, For the Zed Mini, which of the numbers is correct?

This is correct: Field of Viev 102° (H) x 57° (V) x 118° (D) max.
This is the field of view for RAW not rectified images.

This is correct. This is the field of view of the rectified images.

The ZED Mini mounts “almost” fish-eye lenses with a big distortion, causing a big reduction of the field of view after the rectification.

You can validate these values by running the ZED SDK and retrieving the field of view values at runtime.
