• Image Not Clear/Focused: Ensure the eyepiece of your optical device is properly focused. Then, use your smartphone's camera app to adjust focus if available, or use the digital zoom to fill the screen and reduce vignetting.
• Adapter Slipping: Make sure the optic cam-lock is tightened securely onto the eyepiece. The dual-spring clamp should provide a strong grip.
• Dual Camera Phone Issues (e.g., iPhone X): Some dual-camera phones, particularly those with vertically aligned cameras, may require specific adjustments. Try using the camera in video mode for more stability, and slightly shift the phone so the adapter's cutout aligns with the 1x camera while partially covering the second camera to prevent screen blackouts.
