Is my water "crystal clear" after SLAM?

Hi, everyone!

I'm finishing a SLAM process. Looks like it's done. FC = 5, CC = 0.5, CYA = 59 in the morning. I don't see any visible algae. Robotic pool is almost clean after a fool day of working.
The last parameter is if the water is crystal clear and transparent.

Question 1:
Is the any scientific way to decide if water is "crystal clear"? it's my first pool and I don't understand what is the good result. In my opinion it looks a bit foggy.
But maybe it's should be like this in deep side of the pool. It's 8.7 feet deep there.

Question 2:
At the end of SLAM process CYA and FC is a bit high. Should I just wait a few days or add more water in the pool?

Please, see pictures attached.

Thank you,
Have a great day!

If you think the water looks a bit foggy then continue at SLAM FC level for a few more days and see if the water looks different.

Crystal clear water in full sun can look like there is no water in the pool from a distance.
