Autofocus Issue

Is there currently any way of being able to put the focus of the camera at infinity?

I read in a few posts last year that it was not possible, and that the only option is to tap with two fingers to force autofocus.

Today I tried to do it at the time when drone has reached the altitude of the mission (80m) but does not seem to do anything. I have tried it several times during the mission, the camera's screen is reduced and enlarged, but it does not seem to make an attempt to focus (Is there any indicator that it is doing autofocus? It has to be stopped to focus?).

 

After the flight all the photos were out of focus. The drone is an Inspire 2 with camera X4S.

 

The configuration used is Shutter Priority 1/2000, ISO Auto, Speed 8m/s, Altitude 80m. The light conditions were good (high clouds) in fact the ISO has not risen to more than 200 in any image.

 

Interestingly I made the same flight with a fixed ISO (100) and the same configuration and the photos were fine (but it does not compensate the lighting conditions ...).

 

Without the possibility of putting the focus in infinity (I understand that establishing it previously in DJI GO 4 will not work) there is no way to be sure that the images will be focused until after the flight, especially in those areas with a homogeneous texture such as grass.

I have been having the focus issue too. The last seven flights Ive done have been out of focus. Very frustrating! I've read through this thread and tried the suggestions, tried the beta MP v3 but still no luck. The flights have all been at 120m AGL, whereas I usually fly at 75-90m. That's the only difference I can think of to my previous flights that have all worked. I thought it was a DJI error but I tested pix4d capture and DJI gs, and both returned crisp images.

The latest version should show "Focus Infinity" in the little popup message area that tells you 'Focus Success' for the auto focus (right under the Gimbal angle adjustment button). You have to press the Infinity Focus button for it to go into that and you can always stop the mission and do an autofocus again. 

Will: Please read the above comments. You need to stop your mission and double tap on a contrasty area to do the autofocus on while you are at your cruising altitude. The point of this thread is that that is not always a perfect solution and people have asked for a way to set the lens to infinity which has now been provided in 3.0. I bet Pix4D and GS PRO are just setting the lens to infinity.

While flying and at the location you want to pull your autofocus, you press the "Stop" button. Once the aircraft is not moving you can double tap the camera preview on the spot for which you want to pull the autofocus from. Pick somewhere that has a lot of contrast and isn't moving (trees are bad). Once you get the message "Auto Focus Success" you can hit the "Continue" button to carry on.
