Hello,

I just got my OpenMV H7 Pro and ran the hello\_world\_1.py example when I noticed that the camera has a black dot in the lower part of the image output. I tried to clean the lens, but it didn’t help; therefore, I removed the lens, but the problem is still there.

Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards,  
Gilbert

Please clean the camera IC with a microfiber cloth.
