Working with images

9.1 Save an image

To save an image, pull the trigger.
When you save an image, the camera stores the image file in the camera memory. You
can also set up the camera to upload images for storage online, see section 11 Cloud
connectivity, page 29.

9.2 Save a high-resolution visual image

Select the Digital camera image mode to save a high-resolution visual image. Note that
no thermal information is stored when in this image mode.

9.3 About image files

When an image is saved in one of the image modes Thermal MSX, Thermal, or Picture
in picture, the saved image file contains all thermal and visual information. This means
that you can open an image file, in the camera or in a FLIR Thermography software, and,
for example, change the color palette, apply another image mode, and add measure-
ment tools.
When an image is saved in the Digital camera image mode, a high-resolution image con-
taining only the visual information is saved.

9.3.1 File-naming convention

The default naming convention for image files is FLIRxxxx, where xxxx is a unique
counter.
To reset the numbering of the image filenames, select Settings > Device settings > Reset
options > Reset image counter.... This displays a dialog box where you can select to re-
set the counter.
Note To prevent image files being overwritten, the new counter value will be based on
the highest existing filename number in the camera memory. To ensure that the counter
is reset to 0001, delete all images from the camera memory before resetting the counter.

9.4 Add a note

To make reporting and post-processing more efficient, you can add notes with additional
information, e.g., conditions and information about where an image is taken. The notes
are added to the image file and can be viewed and edited in the camera or in a FLIR
Thermography software.
You can set up the camera to automatically prompt for a note when an image has been
saved. Select Settings > Save options & storage > Add note after saving = On.
You can also add notes to saved images in the image archive, by doing the following:
1. Open the image in the Gallery.
2. Push the navigation pad or tap the screen. This displays the top toolbar.
3. On the top toolbar, select
4. On the right toolbar, select
text by touching the screen.
5. When completed, tap Done on the soft keyboard.
6. To get the note stored online, make a manual upload of the image. See section 11.6
