An imaging system for acquiring images of a first object, with the first object configured to move in a direction of travel along a conveyor, the imaging system comprising: an imaging device that includes an imaging sensor and a lens arrangement; a first mirror (30; 46) that is configured to be tilted relative to at least one axis; a second mirror; and a control device that is configured to, as the first object is moved along the direction of travel: using the imaging device with the first mirror in a first orientation, acquire a first image that includes the first object in a first location, the first image being acquired along a first optical path defined by the first mirror (30; 46) in the first orientation and the second mirror, wherein a first field of view corresponding to the first optical path extends across a substantially full width of the conveyor at an intersection with the conveyor at a first location along the conveyor; identify a location of a symbol on the first object in the first image; tilt the first mirror (30; 46) relative to the at least one axis from the first orientation to a second orientation to define a second optical path that does not include the second mirror, wherein a second field of view corresponding to the second optical path extends, at a second location along the conveyor, over a smaller width of the conveyor than does the first field of view at the first location along the conveyor, and the first mirror (30; 46) is tilted to align the second field of view with the symbol for the second image; and using the imaging device with the first mirror in the second orientation, acquire a second image that includes the first object in a second location, the second image being acquired along the second optical path so that the first object is represented in a larger proportion of the second image than of the first image. an imaging device that includes an imaging sensor and a lens arrangement;
