Device Settings - FLIR T530 User Manual

25 Changing settings
• Image resolution: This setting defines the resolution of the images captured by the cam-
era. Available options are Normal and UltraMax. For more information, see section
12.1.4 About UltraMax, page 45.
• Video compression: This setting defines the storage format for video clips. Available
options are:
◦ Mpeg (*.mpeg): MPEG recordings cannot be edited after the file has been saved.
◦ Radiometric storage (*.csq): A CSQ file supports full radiometry but is only sup-
ported by FLIR Systems software. The file does not include any visual image infor-
mation. With this setting, only the image modes Thermal and Macro are supported
when recording video.
• Photo as separate JPEG: For the Thermal MSX, Thermal, and Picture in picture image
modes, a visual image is always saved in the same JPEG file as the thermal image. En-
abling this setting saves an extra low-resolution visual image as a separate JPEG file.
• Digital camera: This setting is used to turn on/off the digital camera. When the digital
camera is off, the images modes Thermal MSX and Picture in picture are disabled.
• Measure distance: This setting defines if the laser distance meter will be used to meas-
ure the distance when an image is saved. With this setting, the Object distance param-
eter (see section 16.5 Changing the measurement parameters, page 70) in the image
data is automatically updated with the measured distance when an image is saved.
(There is no effect on the Object distance setting in live mode.)
• File naming format: This setting defines the naming format for new image/video files.
The setting has no impact on already saved files in the archive. Available options are:
◦ DCF: DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) is a standard that specifies the nam-
ing method of image files (and much more). With this setting, the name of a saved
image/video file will be FLIRxxxx, where xxxx is an incremental counter. Example:
FLIR0001.
◦ Date prefix: A prefix will be added to the filename, including the date and the text
"IR_" for images and "MOV_" for videos. Examples: IR_2015-04-22_0002 and
MOV_2015-04-22_0003. The date format will follow the Date & time format setting,
see section 25.1.4 Device settings, page 100.
Note With the Date prefix setting, the files may not automatically be detected by
third-party applications.
• Delete all saved files...: This displays a dialog box where you can choose to perma-
nently delete all the saved files (images and videos) from the memory card or to cancel
the delete action.
