Black image randomly when doing lens calibration

As the title says, when doing a lens calibration I cant finish a full calibration but some of the images are black. The software says “Score 0.10 Great” or similar so i continue but the next image might work perfectly fine. I have tried resetting the camera back to factory, I have changed usb cable (Also tried Wi-Fi, either lightburn keeps losing connection with it or it with lightburn, either way I don’t use Wi-Fi) and not sure what to do.

Camera is a mintion lasercam if that makes any difference. I have read several issues here with similar issues and theirs seems to have been fixed in 1.7+, I reinstalled my version of lightburn but no joy.

Windows 11 64bit, tried another general usb camera to make sure its not a dodgy camera and it does the same. I really don’t know what else to try. Can anyone give any tips or points on what else to check/change or try?

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to add… Falcon 2 (Non pro)

I would start by installing the latest camera firmware.

Thanks, I have checked and the firmware is to date.

Version: Lasercam_1.2.8
Released Date: 2024-5-31

Thays taken from the Mintion website. When I login to the camera it also says latest firmware already installed. Should I reinstall it just incase?

Thanks
