4.Position the pointer over the Palette down arrow and tap Eto reveal the pull down menu.

5.Position the pointer over desired color palette option and tap E.

Setting Temperature Level and Span

The color palette is available to help you visualize the relation between temperature and color. Setting the span to the narrowest range possible provides the highest quality images.

When using the manual or automatic level and span function, if the center box function is enabled, the temperature updates are done based on the temperatures in the box, not the entire image. Using this feature, you can exclude an area in the image that is very hot or very cold but of little interest.

Manual Level and Span

When you press the LEVEL & SPAN button, your camera takes the current coldest and hottest temperatures from the scene and sets the palette range
