◦ Radiometric storage (*.csq) : A CSQ file supports full radiometry but is only sup-
ported by FLIR Systems software. The file does not include any visual image infor-
mation. With this setting, only
Thermal image mode is supported when recording
video.
• Photo as separate JPEG : For the Thermal MSX , Thermal , and Picture in picture image
modes, a visual image is always saved in the same JPEG file as the thermal image. En-
abling this setting saves an extra low-resolution visual image as a separate JPEG file.
• Digital camera : This setting is used to turn on/off the digital camera. When the digital
camera is off, the images modes Thermal MSX and Picture in picture are disabled.
• Measure distance : This setting defines if the laser distance meter will be used to meas-
ure the distance when an image is saved. With this setting, the Object distance param-
eter (see section 15.5 Changing the measurement parameters , page 71) in the image
data is automatically updated with the measured distance when an image is saved.
(There is no effect on the
Object distance setting in live mode.)

The setting has no impact on already saved files in the archive. Available options are:
◦ DCF : DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) is a standard that specifies the nam-
ing method of image files (and much more). With this setting, the name of a saved
image/video file will be FLIRxxxx, where xxxx is an incremental counter. Example:
FLIR0001.
◦ Date prefix : A prefix will be added to the filename, including the date and the text
“IR_” for images and “MOV_” for videos. Examples: IR_2015-04-22_0002 and
MOV_2015-04-22_0003. The date format will follow the

see section 24.1.5 Device settings , page 100.
