Hello, Amateur here playing with the picar-x. It’s a great little kit, especially for the price, but the pictures taken with the included camera seem to always be too dark, and it seems to impede object recognition. Is this something that can be fixed on the software side, or is it a hardware issue? Has anyone had any luck with replacing the camera or other fixes? Thanks ---

The camera image is blurry. We suggest you provide us with a video of the issue. Please confirm if the camera connections are secure. There is a protective film on the camera lens; please remove it. ![f51d4ac2fa829f24719fc3827ae6456a (2)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/2X/a/aada3702065a6f5315fc18d331d3fcdc8295c43f.jpeg) ![1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/1X/c2fb6dcb37340f3e273aea51d17e9ee6327cce8c.jpeg) ![2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/1X/95e12dff8b543898ba9c2ff70e97c6df217e9169.jpeg) ![4](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/1X/7467ad8df063f60fca095831587c0aead700bae0.jpeg)
