ture to look at by adjusting level.
The level function can be regarded as the brightness.

Span
This function sets the span of the temperatures displayed in the image. The unit is
degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
The whole temperature range is digitized and used for storage. As is the case with
level, mentioned above, normally only a small portion of the whole range is used
for viewing. Select what temperature range to look at by adjusting span.
The span function can be regarded as the contrast.

pressing the S button.

Auto adjust
The camera automatically optimises the parameter (-s) Level, Level & span or Auto
palette (see "Man adjust..." on page 33) for best image contrast and brightness.
Auto adjust is a one-time procedure which can be repeated if required. It has the
same effect as pressing the A button.
5.5.3.3.1
Auto palette
