Yes, when I read the first reply I started bringing the exposure down, just like with a DSLR during daylight, which darkened the image, but didn't reveal any details.
Can you tel me how to do that? I did find the live video button in the CCD tab. Is that what you mean?
ok, thanks, I understand your config better now. Yes, it would seem that if you adjust your focus manually outward 1.2mm, you should be close enough to get something other than blur. Agree with other posts that suggest to adjust exposure duration down for daytime. Setup looking at some distant object, and then adjust in small increments. Good luck....
