"Self-calibration skipped"?

What does the following log message mean?

[2025-06-30 18:59:19 UTC][ZED][WARNING] [Init]  Self-calibration skipped. Scene may be occluded or lack texture. (Error code: 0x01) 

Is it something I should be worried about and if so, how do I resolve it? Everything seems to be functioning correctly despite the warning.

Python, SDK 5.x.

This message means the camera can’t perform the automatic calibration because the scene is not suitable. It’s ideally expecting good illumination and unobstructed view with textured elements. This is just a step the SDK performs at every run in the background to make sure the calibration is still correct.

This can be safely ignored; this will run next time. The previous calibration values will be taken.
However, this may indicate bad conditions, like very low light or strong occlusion
