Select Day or Night Vision Mode and IR (Infrared) Illuminator Level
•
To change the Equinox Z2's mode from the default "Day" (for viewing and capturing images outdoors or in
bright areas indoors) to "Night" vision mode (night operation or dimly lit interiors), briefly press and release
the Left arrow button on the Keypad (E). Text at the bottom center of the display changes to "Night", and the
flashlight icon left of the text indicates the IR Illuminator (K) beam is at full power (High). Press the Left button
again to select half power (Low) on the IR Illuminator, then again to turn off the IR beam. One more press of the
Left button and you are back to daytime viewing/image capture mode (display indicates "Day").
•
Using the Left (or Right) arrow buttons is a shortcut method for selecting Day/Night modes and IR Illumination
level. Night mode can also be enabled, and IR level set, by entering the Settings Menu system then selecting the
"Enable" or "IR Illumination" options in the Night Vision submenu. See "Navigating the Menus..." for more details.
DISPLAY ICONS AND INDICATORS ("HUD")
After powering on the Equinox Z2, multiple icons and text will be visible at the top and bottom of the display as viewed
through the eyepiece. These overlaid icons and text are referred to as the "HUD" (heads up display) in the display submenu,
which provides options to change their color (default is green) and timeout interval (default is 10 seconds for the HUD icons
to switch off in the display). After the HUD display icons timeout, press the Select button once to view them again. Pressing
Select again while the HUD icons are visible will enter the Settings Menu, which is described in the next section. First, here's
a look at the HUD overlay on the display, with a description of the function of each icon and phrase:
