It runs... There is a constant screen flicker. Why? Currently no idea... Camera seems fine in the MS Camera

It is not a consistent flicker, its very random. Problem for future Steven

Camera Specs

Product description:

• Focus Range: from 1mm to 250mm
• Frame Rate: Max 30f/s under 600 Lux Brightness
• Magnification Ratio: 40x to 1000x

Real(er) specs:

I think its much shittier than this - the 1000x magnification is a very comical claim. Its more of a focusing wheel than a zoom.

The resolution is 640x480 (I believe 0.3 Megapixel ?) - magnification is in practice is only around 40x - 50x (very generous rounding up)

I think I will need to triple check this, but my assumed maths is 40x the fov is ~ 11mm x 8mm with an actual magnification of ~15x ???

• this is generally the best I can get focused
