Sorry if this has already been asked/answered. But trying to get the setup I want shared away, and I've read a lot of reviews of the GoPro Hero3+ that they have changed the focus point to be clearer close up and long distance shots are not as crisp. I contacted GoPro and they said that all focus points (near and far) are crisper now on the + and that if you experience otherwise that it is a defect. Their response is below...
"GoPro has designed the HERO3+ with a new lens to improve focus and sharpness for both video and photos. The new camera is optimized for improved image clarity at all focal ranges – edges, center, close and distance. If a customer is experiencing loss of clarity or focus at a distance, this is not an expected outcome. It's possible that there may have been an issue with the production of that particular camera or that a camera software update is needed. We will troubleshoot the problem with the customer according to the specific issue that is being experienced and find a resolution."
So is this just their standard response or are the 3's actually better than the 3+'s for aerial photography?
Thanks!
