If you're experiencing focusing issues with your GemCam, it is likely due to the camera being too close or too far from the object.

Follow the steps below to properly align the GemCam’s focus:

  1. Remove the front cover of the GemLightbox Pro.
  2. Place a piece of jewelry in the center of the turntable.
  3. Remove any additional lights.
  4. Position the GemCam as close as possible to the jewelry piece (no need to worry about focus at this point).
  5. Slowly move the GemCam back until the item is in focus.
  6. Adjust brightness accordingly before capture.
