Camera will not focus

[Drone Master]

Yes I have tried manual and never changes. Stays blurry

Umm, that suggest that it most likely is a hardware issue and not FW issue.
One last thing you can try is to reinstall the Go app. If that does not work, you may well have to send back to DJI for repair, unless someone else has a solution.
Let us know how it goes.
Good luck!

Just want to add that I have the same issue with both of my Mavics. If you tab, it tries to focus, gets it right for half a second, then goes back to blurry. The correct focus doesn't "lock". The issue started appearing after the penultimate update.

It seems to come and go away seemingly arbitrarily. Rebooting sometimes solves the issue, but other times it doesn't. Sometimes, manually focusing with infinity focus works, though.

Your issue is a little different. Mine will not try to focus at all. I posted a link to a video I took live from the dji go app

I can't try the new firmware as its too windy today. Problem came with a Go app update so it is a software issue. Mine was sharp prior. Not sure firmware will help if it stated with a Go app update.

do you think flying with the old go app will fix a focus issue?

I posted a video doing a range test for CE mode. In the first minute of the video, you can clearly see the issue I'm having. CE Mode Range Test - 4009 Metres

Anyone figure this out? Just got the mavic. Will sometimes focus if I reset. Otherwise it doesn't focus when I tap. The quarry appears and it beeps but won't focus. Don't even have one flight in it.

Looking at the video you posted my problem is pretty similar. Its not as bad but its still pretty bad. I was able to get it focus at once point but not really since then.

Where does it get sent to?

No. That's the part that the camera mounts to. There are four rubber bands in each corner. The gimbal control board is a computer chip part

Sorry I don't know the official name for it. I would think a gimbal bracket or base plate
