Note
Minimum focus distance for thermal (IR) camera is 15 cm (approx.
6 inches). Minimum focus distance for visible (visual) light camera is
46 cm (approx. 18 inches).
Note
The Imager can save the image as a simple picture or as a
radiometric image that allows further temperature analysis. To
change the saved image format, see the “Setting File Format” section
later in this manual.
Note
When IR-Fusion® is enabled, adjusting the IR focus control will align
the IR and visible light images on the LCD display. When the IR
image is properly focused, the images should be almost perfectly
aligned. This functionality provides an east method to get a good
focus on the IR image. Because of image parallax and minimum focus
specifications, the minimum distance for an aligned IR-Fusion®
image is approximately 46 cm (18 inches).
Pressing the softkey labeled Settings allows modification of image
characteristics such as palette, picture-in-picture, and range. Refer to the
appropriate setting section for operational details.
Saving Imager Data The Imager saves displayed data on an SD card placed into the camera. See the
“Changing the SD Card” section for inserting and ejecting an SD card. The file
format set on the Imager determines how the measured information is stored
on the SD card. To store Imager data:
1. Point camera at the area of interest and pull the trigger to capture an
image. This will freeze the image in the display and bring up the Image
Capture menu.
2. Press the softkey labeled Store. If the SD card is in the Imager and there
is enough room left on the card, the information is stored.
Adjusting the Thermal Image The Imager uses different colors or shades of gray to display the temperature
gradient of the area within the Imager’s field of view. There are two
adjustments for changing how the Imager displays the image: Palette and
Range.
