Using 'already' before adjectives

Solution 1:

Yes, this usage is correct. Note that it is conventional to use a hyphen when you are writing a compound adjective (see rule 6.39 given in this answer, which draws from CMoS):

already-calibrated camera

As you are probably aware, this means the same thing as:

We have used a camera that has already been calibrated, fixed on the robot.


Here are some examples from COCA that use "already" to modify an adjective in this way:

already-established
