Has anyone ever seen a video issue with the 3E where it seams to looses focus and zoom in a lil bit then out a bit again
Mavic 3E cammera issues

I haven't myself, but I've heard that camera recalibration can sometimes help with certain issues.
Is this Very obvious in your Videos? or is it just sort of instantaneous?
Maybe the below could get you started?
Keep in mind I'm Sort of new at Building drones but I am slowly getting it.
It would probably be a good idea to let someone else also chime in here before you try to solve your problem my way:
Below is the metadata for a calibrated M3Enterprise Camera:
2022-06-08;3713.290000000000,3713.290000000000,7.020000000000,-8.720000000000,-0.112575240000,0.014874430000,-0.000085720000,0.000000100000,-0.027064110000
These are the Date of Calibration, Followed by the corrections the camera uses to stay in focus.
Your numbers should match ( except date lol).
Have you Noticed:
During flight, INF - changes on the scrollbar?
If so This is what Dji will most likely tell you:
"The range of the scrollbar of the camera in MF mode is from INF (the focus motor’s position corresponding to the hyperfocal distance) to MOD (the focus motor’s position corresponding to the minimum available focus distance), and INF position changes with temperature. In MF mode, the focus distance (i.e. focus motor’s position) set by users in the app is fixed. During flight, INF changes with the continuous rise in the camera’s temperature, and thus the range of the scrollbar of the camera in MF mode changes accordingly. "
This is not supposed to be visible to the user and is only supposed to effect the range in the scrollbar but I really don't see how you can't notice it if indeed Heat effects the range of focus?

Sounds like CDAF autofocus hunting. Does this occur mainly in lower light conditions?
It happens in every video i have shot since buying the drone i will include a video clip later today
Its prety obvious and it bums me out as the drone is brand new i will attach a video clip later today
If it is a Brand new M3E I would most certainly point out the Problem to DJI. Did you purchase it online, or through an authorized Sales person or place? Either way they should defiantly be able to find you a solution. You Enterprise owners get a little extra when it comes to service.
