Camera hardware specification table conflates "depth of field" with "adjustable focus range" #4291

  • For camera V1 (non-adjustable) we state the depth of field as "Approx 1 m to ∞", which looks entirely plausible.

  • For adjustable cameras (V2, AI) it looks like we are stating the range through which focus can be adjusted, rather than the depth of field at the factory or hyperfocal setting? Though this needs confirming.

  • For auto-focus (V3), we are certainly stating the range through which focus can be set automatically or manually (not the depth of field).

Fixing this would require us to know a good estimate of depth of field in the missing cases, and be able to explain the difference clearly...
