Panning and tilting, and the thermal image
On a New e Series multifunction display you can pan and tilt the
thermal camera image using the touchscreen.
Move your finger up and down the screen to tilt the camera
up or down.
Move your finger left and right on the screen to rotate the
camera left or right (panning).
Thermal camera home position
The home position is a preset position for the camera.
The home position usually defines a useful reference point — for
example, straight ahead and level with the horizon. You can set the
home position as required and to return the camera to the home
position at any time.
The home icon appears on-screen momentarily when the
camera returns to the home position. The icon flashes when a
new home position is set.

Thermal camera stabilization
The Raymarine T470SC and T473SC thermal cameras includes a
mechanical stabilization feature.
The mechanical stabilization feature improves image stability by
compensating for vessel motion and keeping the camera aimed
at the point of interest. Mechanical stabilization has two aspects:
horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation). By default, mechanical
stabilization is set to on, which provides the best on-the-water
performance particularly when the vessel is underway and traveling
on rough water or in swell conditions. You can disable or enable
stabilization whenever you want. When you enable full stabilization
(horizontal and vertical), the Stabilization On (no wave) icon flashes.
It does not display continually, since this is the normal mode of
operation. If you disable stabilization, the Stabilization Off (wave)
icon remains on the screen to make you aware that the motion of
the vessel can affect the camera performance. This is not a normal
mode of operation. Stabilization is automatically turned off when
the camera is stowed, but the system restores your setting when
the camera is powered on. You can turn off the horizontal (pan)
stabilization while retaining the tilt stabilization by enabling point
mode.
Enabling / Disabling stabilization
Stabilization is enabled by default. You can enable or disable
stabilization at any time by following the steps below.
From the thermal camera application
1. Select Menu.
2. Select Camera Set-up.
3. Select Stabilization Mode.
Selecting Stabilization mode switches stabilization On and Off.
