Setup
NOTE
Preset mode settings are highly subjective and vary considerably depending upon scene content and
viewing or recording preferences. Individual settings may be optimized for each your particular environ-
ment. For more information, technical details, or background theory regarding these settings, visit

To configure thermal image settings:
1. Under Brightness (also known as ITT Mean, ITT Offset, or ITT Midpoint), select a val-
ue from 0 – 100. This setting determines the temperature that is at the middle of the
256 "shades of gray" available to the camera. Higher values allow more detail in hotter
scenes, while lower values allow more detail in lower temperature scenes.
2. Under Sharpness (also known as Digital Data Enhancement), select a sharpness val-
ue. Sharpness is used to enhance image details and/or suppress fixed pattern noise.
Higher values increase Sharpness, while lower values soften (blur) the image and filter
fixed pattern noise.
3. Under Gamma (also known as Active Contrast Enhancement), select a Gamma value.
Gamma provides a contrast adjustment dependent on the relative scene temperature.
Gamma values greater than 0 give more contrast to the hotter scene content and de-
crease contrast for the colder scene content. Gamma values less than 0 do the oppo-
site by decreasing the contrast for hotter scene content and leaving more of the
"shades of gray" to represent the colder scene content.
4. Under EZoom, select the digital zoom factor. Digital zoom factor is continuously varia-
ble; 16 steps for 320-pixel cameras and 24 steps for 480-pixel or 640-pixel cameras.
The zoom factor is stored so that at power-up the last saved field of view is maintained.
5. Under Smart Scene, select a Smart Scene Optimization (SSO) value. This value de-
fines the percentage of the scene that will be allotted a linear mapping. With SSO en-
abled, the difference in gray shades between two objects is more representative of the
difference in temperature, although the optimization in local contrast can be lost.
