Camera Focusing
Prepare Camera
:::{warning} Refocusing your camera will make your calibration inaccurate, make sure to recalibrate after focusing. ::: To ensure that your camera is focused properly, mount it to a secure surface and ensure it does not move drastically. Point your camera at a detailed surface like a calibration board, and make sure that it not too close to the camera.
Using Focus Mode
:::{important} When you enable Focus Mode, it will assign a Score to the current focus, this score depends on your environment and the lighting. This score cannot be compared to a focus score collected from other environments. :::
- In the Cameras tab, turn on Focus Mode.
- Rotate the lens on your camera to try and get the focus score as high as possible.
- Once you cannot get a higher score, this indicates that your camera is fully focused and can be set in place using glue if desired.
