The ov01a10 sensor has a pixel-array of 1296x816 pixels, but the driver only offers a 1280x800 mode.
Sensors having a slightly bigger pixel-array then a standard resolution then normal is standard because debayering / demosaicing often requires some extra pixels at the borders. This is also the case with the software ISP.
Since the driver does not offer a mode with these extra pixels, the max available resolution offered by the software ISP is 1276x796 which is just under 1280x720, causing e.g. google-meet to fallback to a much lower resolution. This results in only a small center part of the total field-of-view of the sensor being shown (the rest is cropped of) which looks like a weird zoom-in effect.
TODO: Fix the driver to also offer 1299x816 as mode, so that the software ISP can offer 1280x800 / 1280x720 to applications.
Reproducible: Always
