DCS - Deployment Operation: Focus Settings Suggestion

Angled Rayfin

  1. Take several digital stills.

  2. When previewing the images, divide the image into 4 zones as shown on the right. Use the laser dots as the point of reference for which zone to select. 

  3. Pick an object inside that zone and adjust the focus until it’s deemed to provide the sharpest image.

  4. Take a digital still with that setting.

  5. Preview the image to determine if it is sharp and in focus. 

  6. You might need to zoom in on the image to determine the sharpness. If the image is not sharp enough, repeat the process until an acceptable result is obtained. 

Note: This is an iterative process so it might take a couple of tries to achieve the optimum focus settings.
