Would this lose focus if you tried to shoot an area approximately 18″ by 24″ , like a Monopoly game board and the cards?
V4K will not lose focus. It comes with auto focus, plus it gives you the option to switch between Auto Focus Single (AF-S) and Auto Focus Continuous (AF-C). When using the camera to stream board games, we understand that it could be annoying if the focus is constantly adjusting to capture your moving hands. In that case, just switch the focus to AF-S mode, so that the camera will only be focusing on the game board. Further, be advised that the max capture area of V4K is 13.46” x 10.04”. But you can always place the camera on a stack of books to extend its height. Alternatively, you can check out our VZ-X model which stands taller, and has a max shooting area of 13.20″ x 19.01″ at 4:3.
