  1. Rotate with the focus ring on the lens. This will change the camera's focus. Look at the main view in LATRAS HUB, therethe focus change should be visible there right away.
  2. Check if the lens is clean.
  3. Check if the lens is properly threaded into the camera. If notnot, thread it back in and go to 1ststep step.1.
