Please fix infinity focus not really accurate focus to infinity. When shooting at night, it is really useful.

Please provide us with more details about this for a better confirmation.
Besides, please check the firmware of the drone and upgrade it if it is necessary.

From the Mavic FAQ:

2. When shooting in manual focus mode, my shots are blurred even when moving the slider all the way to infinite focus. Why?
The focus range of the Mavic is 0.5m to infinite. Slide along the bar until you reach a focus point. Sliding straight to infinite focus does not guarantee sharp focus.


It helps to turn on Focus Peaking, which you can use as a reality check to see what the Mavic is focused upon.

The problem I find with manual focus are:
1) the icon(flower and infinity symbols) are confusing which I do not know if I should dial up or down towards to get the setting I want (although it can be figured out by playing around with it)
2) Once the above is figure out, dial all the way to infinity does not focus infinity
3) peak focus need to combined with 1:1 zoom for ti to be accurate, however there is no 1:1 zoom available (as far as I know)
4) zoom to "200%" need to go through a slow and tedious stepwise increment, and once focus is done, the whole process need to be reversed. Good to be able to custom a button to do zoom in and out from 1:1 zoom in a single click.
5) automatic focus is mobile device dependent (as far as I know), if you have a slow device, you may not be able to engage in focus.

May be I have been using the mavic wrong, if not, I would really like to see some improvement on the focus system, as it is currently painful to use.

Cheers,

Exactly,
please add numbers to the manual focus bar as below image, it is very helpful.
