Most cams can't focus close enough to resolve a tiny object like this one - yer better off staying farther away and keeping it sharp. Or learn how to use macro. I shoot video for a living, I'm sorry, I see this all the time and it just bugs the living daylights out of me. Can't people see that the darn thing is blurry?
