Hey there, not sure whats going on but need some help on getting focus for timelapse. I have this set and it has the focus i need - focus_automatic_continuous=0,focus_absolute=85. But when it takes a snapshot for the time lapse it focus is way off. Is there something else I need to add to get snapshot focus on same point?

Afaik it should be exactly the same as it takes the snapshot from the video. Maybe your printer is vibrating at the time of the snapshot and that's why it isn't focused.
To test the timelapse snapshot, you can execute TIMELAPE_TAKE_FRAME or something like that, there should be a macro button somewhere iirc. Then you can download the images taken, from the timelapse tab as a zip. If they are differently focused than your video feed, something is off

Looks like autofocus is still working but the fixed on a closer point if that makes sense? So without focus_automatic_continuous=0,focus_absolute=85 my focus is set further back. with focus_automatic_continuous=0,focus_absolute=85 its set where I want but if i put something closer it will change the focus still.
