Focusing the lens
I just got a r/c camera system and tested it in my house using the included AC adapters. It works. But the focus is blurry. Pretty poor picture overall.
I did a search on "focus" but all I could find was a reference to turning the larger outer diamter ring. Mine does not have that ring.
It does have a plate over the pinhole lens that looks like it is screwed down holding the guts together. Do you think that is OK to rotate to try and focus the picture better?
Thanks!

The pinhole cameras I have are focused by rotating the entire lens.

You can focus by putting tip of two nails in holes to either side of lense and rotating whole front of unit. Check to make sure there is no set screw on side of body holding lense secure. If so, loosen it first.

I found some of those old test pattern charts here and there on the net if you are interested.
Can stick em up on my site and post the link.

I guess you would set it where you wanted the focus set at and adjust for sharpness.
I downloaded the test card jpgs a little while back but havent printed any of em out yet.
