I've got a Version 1 SG9665GC Serial Number GSGC15250015 running firmware version SG20170904.V1 that looks blurry / out of focus after about 4-5 years of use. Here's a screenshot of what it looked like back in July, 2015 at full resolution:
Here's a still shot of how it looks today:
I also tried a close-up with the dash cam today and it looks pretty good close-up:
So it seems to do just fine focusing close-up, but it's not focusing on objects/scenes further away. Here's a video clip from July, 2015 where it looks nice and sharp:
And here's a video from today where it's out of focus:
I've already tried cleaning the lens and the windshield. So I'm wondering if anyone has any troubleshooting ideas I could try. Is this something that can be fixed somehow, or maybe has the unit reached end-of-life?
