2. Open the LL Hardware Manager and click "Find Limelights". Double click the entry that begins with ether 172.172 or 169.254

3. Click the "Ignore NT pipeline index" to enable pipeline switching, and switch to pipeline 9

4. Set the pipeline type to "focus"

5. Go to the configuration tab, and increase stream quality to maximum.

6. Make sure the camera is pointed at something with lots of features and contrast, such as an ARUCO board or a detailed image.

7. Turn the lens to maximize the on-screen focus score.

8. Once focused, apply 3-8 dots of super glue or super glue gel around the lens

For the absolute best results, you can consider using a large siemens star focus chart as your target
