Operation
• Digital camera: The camera displays a digital camera image.
To display a good fusion image (Thermal MSX, Picture-in-picture, and Thermal blending
modes), the camera must make adjustments to compensate for the small difference in
position between the digital camera lens and the infrared lens. To adjust the image accu-
rately, the camera requires the alignment distance (i.e., the distance to the object).

7.13.2 Procedure

Follow this procedure:
1. Push the center of the navigation pad. This displays a toolbar.
2. On the toolbar, select Image mode
3. On the toolbar, select one of the following:
• Thermal MSX .
• Thermal .
• Picture-in-picture

level.
• Digital camera .
4. If you have selected the Thermal MSX, Picture-in-picture, or Thermal blending mode,
also set the distance to the object by doing the following:
• On the Image mode toolbar, select Alignment distance
box.
• In the dialog box, select the distance to the object.

7.14 Changing the temperature scale mode

7.14.1 General

The camera can, depending on the camera model, operate in different temperature scale
modes:
• Auto mode: In this mode, the camera is continuously auto-adjusted for the best image
brightness and contrast.
• Manual mode: This mode allows manual adjustments of the temperature span and
the temperature level.

7.14.2 When to use Manual mode

7.14.2.1 Example 1
Here are two infrared images of a building. In the left image, which is auto-adjusted, the
large temperature span between the clear sky and the heated building makes a correct
analysis difficult. You can analyze the building in more detail if you change the tempera-
ture scale to values close to the temperature of the building.
