    Hello,
    How can I correctly see the High resolution camera focused? I try moving the internal small circle but somehow it doesn't focus. Is there a way to lock it after its focused?

    Thanks

      @andrespalomino, which Hi-Res camera do you have?
      They have a range of focus, most would be really crisp close up

        Hi @Adrian-Hidalgo, I have the IMX214
        I tried to move the small plastic ring around the lens and see some good focus on ground but when flying it appear to go out of focus.

        Can this happen sometimes?

          @andrespalomino if the lens is really loose, then the lens could loose focus as it gets rattled with vibes.
          Verifying that below is your camera:

          When you state that you can get the focus good on the ground but when flying looses the focus, do you mean you can see it gradually getting worse over time or all of a sudden? How far are you viewing the feed? Also, how high are you flying? Do you see a difference when you are closer to objects or lower to the ground?
