Lens Calibration
Use the lens calibration process to recover focus and zoom after motor stalling has occurred. Motor
step stalling is rare but it can occur during shipping or through mishandling of the camera. If the One
Touch focus at Wide or Tele is not working through the zoom range, the camera requires lens
calibration. The lens calibration tool uses infinity focus curves to align the camera lens and correct
problems focusing at Wide or Tele.
