Hello,
I use the pocket 2 as an action cam to film mountain biking.
I have a problem with the autofocus which focuses continuously and we often get blurry images.
Fixed focus also gives me blurry images.
How to have a definitive adjustment with an infinite focus like the osmo action ?

Thanks

Although my Pocket 2 is primarily used for still photos, the same issue focus exists. If the screen area requiring primary focus is not tapped, the image is often out of focus.

Thanks for you reply,
If I understand correctly, I have to switch to fixed focus mode and systematically tap on the screen on an infinite point? at that moment, i would have an action cam mode at the focus mode?

when pro mode is on, you can choose focus mode: AFC and AFS.

choose AFS and tap to infinity. u will get a focus at infinity.

But as it's not an infinity focus lens, if you focus on infinity, objects anywhere close to you will be out of focus.  The Pocket 2 is not an ideal choice for your purpose, I would have thought - a gimbal camera and an action camera are two very different devices.

I use the Fimi palm 1 & 2 for my videos, I have no focus problem.
The pocket 2 is much better in image quality but I would really like to be able to configure this focus as an action camera or like the Fimi.
I did a test with the focus in AFS mode and tapping on the screen infinity, it seems to work, I did not notice any blurry object in the foreground.
The problem is that you have to repeat the operation each time you switch it on.
