Please check out the video I posted on YouTube and let me know what you think. Has anything like this ever happened to you? Is this a one in a million fluke occurance?
YouTube: UAC Damaged
It was a cloudy day and the camera was facing forward (up) so initially the video wasn't real clear anyway, but look how the picture quality changes after ejection. Did something snap back at ejection and destroy the camera lens? When I got home and downloaded the video, I thought the lens was dirty. I tried three different methods of cleaning the lens without scratching it. There was no change in picture clarity so I can only assume the lens was damaged. But I didn't know how it was damaged until I saw the change after ejection.
So what do you think?
