Claim 14:
15. A method of displaying images in a dual-function imaging system, comprising:
providing an imaging system with a freeform optic lens having an inner region with a first magnification level and an outer region with a second magnification level lower than the first magnification level;
capturing images of a first scene with an imager using the inner region of the freeform optic lens;
capturing images of a second scene with the imager using the outer region of the freeform optic lens;
processing image data in a transitional area between the first magnification level of the inner region and the second magnification level of the outer region, with an image processor, to correct the image data from the first scene and the second scene;
causing images from the first scene to be displayed on a first video display element having a first frame rate; and
causing images from the first scene and the second scene to be combined and displayed on a second video display element having a second frame rate that is lower than the first frame rate, wherein the second frame rate is associated with the image data in the transitional area that has been modified to correct the transitional area between the first scene and the second scene.
