Re: Finding range

I have an idea of what might be happening to you, but I can't really put it into words. If you could, tape the target to the wall at whatever height you can (higher is better, up to the actual hieght of the target), and then move the camera accordingly, closer and farther. You may not get the giant jump you talked about. Maybe...


[EDIT] Did you mean 7 feet, not inches? The values at seventeen feet looking at something 7" above it would be indiscernable for calculating range...
