Adjust the focus of ai deck

Hi,

I plan to use the AI deck to collect some data during flights. Yet I found that the collected images are a bit out of focus.

Is there a way to adjust the focus of the ai deck?

Thanks.

I tried on one of the AI-deck camera modules we have here and it is possible to adjust the focus but a bit tricky doing so as I think the lens is glued. I took two pairs of pliers and held the bottom square part with one and the "flower" lens edge with one. Then I gently increased the twisting force until it turned. I could not do it without deforming the "flower" edge a bit, but that has no practical impact.

I see. Thanks for the reply!

We will try that and see if tuning the focus can improve the image data.
