Working with images

14.1 Saving an image

14.1.1 General

You can save images to a memory card.
The camera saves an image file including all thermal and visual information. This means
that you can open an image file at a later stage and, for example, select another image
mode, apply color alarms, and add measurement tools.
The image jpg file is fully radiometric and saved lossless, which enables full post-proc-
essing in FLIR Tools. There is also a regular jpg part (lossy) for convenient viewing in
non-FLIR Systems software (Explorer).

14.1.2 About UltraMax

UltraMax is an image enhancement feature that increases the image resolution and low-
ers the noise, making small objects easier to see and measure. An UltraMax image is
twice as wide and high as an ordinary image.
When an UltraMax image is captured by the camera, several ordinary images are saved
in the same file. Capturing all the images can take up to 1 second. To fully utilize Ultra-
Max, the images need to be slightly different, which can be accomplished by a slight
movement of the camera. You should hold the camera firmly in your hands (do not put it
on a tripod), which will make these images vary just a little during the capture. Correct fo-
cus, a high-contrast scene, and a non-moving target are other conditions that help to
achieve a good-quality UltraMax image.
At the moment, only FLIR Tools has the ability to process UltraMax images. Other FLIR
software will treat the image as a regular image.

14.1.3 Image capacity

The capacity of a 4 GB memory card is theoretically 13 000 images (with no annotations).
Note Although a memory card may have a higher capacity than 5000 images, saving
more than that number of images severely slows down file management on the memory
card.

14.1.4 Naming convention

The naming convention for image files is FLIRxxxx.jpg, where xxxx is a unique counter.
