Axis M1011 camera out of focus

[Wildcats1378]

Yeah, I believe someone might have dropped it pretty hard or it fell off the robot. It doesn't rattle... I'm guessing there's no way to fix it? We can still see things that are really close, and it would still kind of work to see the outlines of the goals, but it'd be nice if it was focused.

Thanks.

You could always try to disassemble and reassemble it. I've fixed a misaligned 601 many times that way.

Wild,
If it was dropped and things that are close are the only things in focus, two possibilities exist. The lens mount might have cracked or broken causing the back focus to be off or one of the lens elements shifted position inside the lens.

Alright, we took off the cover, and the lenses did shift. It was almost completely screwed off. We cut the glue off, screwed it back in, and put the cover back on. Good as new.

Thanks guys!

Awesome. I was hesitant to suggest it without supervision, but that is just what I wanted you to try.

Glad that helped.
