6.4 Image adjustments
Thermal camera scene presets
Scene presets enable you to quickly select the best image setting for the current
environmental conditions.
During normal operation the thermal camera automatically adjusts itself to provide
a high-contrast image optimized for most conditions. The Scene presets provide
4 additional settings that may provide better imagery in certain conditions. The 4
modes are:
• Day — scene preset mode for daytime conditions.
• Night — scene preset mode for night conditions.
• Docking — scene preset mode for docking.
• High Contrast — scene preset mode for extra-high contrast.
Although the preset names indicate their intended use, varying environmental conditions
might make another setting more preferable. For example, the night running scene preset
might also be useful while in a harbor. You may find it beneficial to experiment with the
different scene presets to discover the best preset to use for different conditions.
Thermal camera color modes
A range of color modes are available to help you distinguish objects on-screen in
different conditions.
Changing the color mode switches the thermal camera image between four available
color palettes:
• WhiteHot
• RedHot
• Fusion
• FireIce
The factory default color mode is WhiteHot, which may improve your night vision.
Thermal camera reverse video
You can reverse the polarity of the video image to change the appearance of objects
on-screen.
Changing the polarity setting will toggle between the two available polarities for the
color mode that is already selected.
The available polarity options are:
• WhiteHot / BlackHot
• RedHot / RedHot Inverse
• Fusion / Fusion Inverse
• FireIce / FireIce Inverse
You may find it useful to experiment with this option to find the best setting to suit
your needs.
