16.4.2.2 Explanation
1. Currently set minimum temperature in the temperature span (= range of type 3 in the
table 16.4.1.2 Types of temperature ranges, page 45).
2. Currently set maximum temperature in the temperature span (= range of type 3 in the
table 16.4.1.2 Types of temperature ranges, page 45).
3. Currently set maximum temperature in the range that the camera can register with
the current settings (= range of type 2 in the table 16.4.1.2 Types of temperature
ranges, page 45).
4. Indicator that represents the temperature range (= range of type 2 in the table
16.4.1.2 Types of temperature ranges, page 45).
5. Indicator that represents the temperature span (= range of type 3 in the table
16.4.1.2 Types of temperature ranges, page 45).
6. Currently set minimum temperature in the range that the camera can register with the
current settings (= range of type 2 in the table 16.4.1.2 Types of temperature ranges,

Example Explanation
All temperatures the
–40°C to +350°C (–40°
F to +662°F) camera can register.
This range is the total
sum of the temperature
ranges (type no. 2
below).
+10°C to +50°C (+50°F The span of tempera-
to +122°F) tures that the camera
can register with the
current settings.
This type of range is a
subrange to type no. 1
above.
The range of tempera-
+23.8°C to +25.9°C
(+74.8°F to +78.6°F) tures that the camera
registers when aimed
at a particular scene
with a particular tem-
perature range set.
