The focus, if you ask me looks a little soft.  I've heard of many folks fixing it by taking the case apart (easy) and rotating the lens to a better position but I have a new flycam with the °90 rotating lens head so in reality, its not part of the case, being connected to the case's innards via wire.  I'd need to open up the lens head but it doesn't look so easy.  Anyone have any pointers?
Thanks
Fox Keri

Status: offline 		Ok once you open the main body shell (How to do, Ive posted in this forum) lift the tang to unlock the ribbon conector and remove the camera. the camera (silver shell) will open with a slight twist and up remove the front cover and you will see the focal lens, how ever, mine has a lot of glue on the threads to stop the focal ring from turning...with a little amount of force It may move. BE VERY CAREFULL as you may tear the other ribbon and destroy the camera.... Clean the outer lens and inside case window before reasembling.......Good luck..

Thanks for the great info

I think I'll try to get some use from the cam before I mess with it
