I finally decided to see if I could improve my Xiaomi Yi’s focus.
There are many reports of them being sold as selfie cameras more than landscape cameras. I found this to be true.
I watched youtube clips and read blog posts and did my own experimenting.
There’s a ton of info already on how to open the Yi and remove the glue from the lens so I’m not adding that here.
I was surprised at the results, so here are my focus examples, as well a tip.
- Tip – use a soldering iron on its lowest setting with a needle tip to remove the glue. Much better than stressing the frame trying to use a screwdriver or Exacto
- Before and after lens rotation pics.
- GIF of focus comparison. Very excited that my drone videos will be sharper!
