I've wanted one or other rover to use the IDD turret and wrist actuation to get the best self portrait possible. A really REALLY bad simulation using the model that is in MMB, and a 33 deg FOV.

Maybe a self portrait would show how much daylight is between the rover and the ground?
Could the IDD look between Spirit's legs like the arm camera on Phoenix did?

She could, but as I was saying in another thread, we momentarily cannot use the IDD on Spirit. If we really believe we need to take that MI shot, we will work on getting the IDD working again.
