Seek and Ye Shall Find Things in the Dark with an iPhone Thermal Camera

Thanks for your post and your question!

The ring doesn’t turn much anyway. And sometimes I can see it help; other times the difference is not noticeable.

I’d say it could be handy for getting the crispest photograph in some cases. In other cases, or for non-photos, it really doesn’t make much difference in helping identify temperature differences.

That was my thinking when I bought the older, cheaper model — the resolution of these thermal cameras is so low I figured the focus wouldn’t make any difference.
