Hi,
It says you can adjust the focus "through the screen" BUT HOW?
I have been looking and experimenting for hours and I cannot find this information anywhere. I read all the forums, watched nearly a dozen tutorials, read the manual, updated the camera firmware and app, etc.
When I touch the screen I get options for exposure (when I am in Shutter Priority) and I get the blue circle for panning & tilting the gimbal around, but I cannot tell how to affect focus. WHen I am in Manual and I touch the screen it says "Cannot Focus in M mode" leaving me to beleive that touching the screen is supposed to affect focus. I've tried everything. What am I missing?
I shot some footage with it a few days ago, (in full manual mode) and upon reviewing it, anything about 8-10 feet or closer is quite noticably soft, whereas the deep background is sharp. I did not attempt to change the focus during the shot as I did not know I could. (I'd read older info that said it was fixed focus and anything from about 4 feet away to infinity would be sharp)
I am using it for a professional music video shoot on Wednesday and I can't figure it out. Can anyone please explain it to me?
PS. I'm a professional cinematographer with over 20 years experience, but this is my first project using the Osmo, in case thats relevant about how to respond.
THANKS!
