Thermal camera scene presets
Scene presets enable you to quickly select the
best image setting for the current environmental
conditions.
During normal operation the thermal camera
automatically adjusts itself to provide a high-contrast
image optimized for most conditions. The Scene
presets provide 4 additional settings that may
provide better imagery in certain conditions. The 4
modes are:
Night Running — scene preset mode for
night conditions.
Day Running — scene preset mode for
daytime conditions.
Night Docking — scene preset mode for
night docking.
Search — scene preset mode for identifying
people or objects in the water.
Although the preset names indicate their intended
use, varying environmental conditions might make
another setting more preferable. For example, the
night running scene preset might also be useful while
in a harbor. You may find it beneficial to experiment
with the different scene presets to discover the best
preset to use for different conditions.

Thermal camera color modes
A range of color modes are available to help you
distinguish objects on-screen in different conditions.
Changing the color mode switches the thermal
camera image between a greyscale mode and 1
or more color modes. There are 5 color modes
available.
The factory default color mode is white, which may
improve your night vision. This default mode can be
changed if required using the camera's on-screen
Video Setup menu.
