Hi guys,
My two years old DP220 suddenly started to make blurry image. At morning when I went to work it was OK, but at the afternoon when returning home the recorded video was blurry, except the edge of dashboard at the lower corner which was exceptionally sharp. I took it out and cleaned the lens and windshield, and made some test video and the image was again like before. At the next day it did it again - sharp at morning, blurry at afternoon.
It was sunny day, about 24C (75F) and the camera was facing direct sunlight for hours. Could that have damaged it? It definitely wasn't the first time being toasted in hot interior, but enough is enough? AFAIK these have a fixed focus lens, so any dirt in the windshield should not make it to focus any closer?
