[QUOTE="mmarian, post: 216681, member: 39883"] There are two options, so here is what you need to do. Either use the manual focus ring on your 12mm and focus to infinity but not by lining the infinity mark against the focus mark but by using the magnified view - focus assist in GO4 to find the best focus on a distant subject. You obviously do this with the drone on the ground. Once you do that you must leave the ring in that exact position!! Do not push the ring into autofocus position as that will cancel your manually set focus setting! Option two is to perform lens calibration. This can be quite tricky. From my own experience calibrating the Oly12mm is really finicky and hard to get it right. I had to repeat the process many times before I found the best infinty sharpness inthe centre as well as close to edges. You need to persevere here and you need to take a photo at f2 after the calibration and check the sharpness at 100% magnification in Photoshop or any decent photo viewer. You might need to repeat this process over and over again until you are satisfied that you have achieved the best sharpness possible. Then you have successfully completed the calibration and you are good to go flying. Tedious process but it only needs to be done once and you will be rewarded with excellent and most importantly consistently sharp photos each and every time by simply tapping the infinity mark in GO4 in MF, the one below the virtual focusing scale.
