14.1 General
The camera can capture both thermal and visual images at the same time. By your choice
of image mode, you select which type of image to display on the screen.
The camera supports the following image modes:
• Thermal : An infrared image is displayed.
• Thermal MSX (Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging): The camera displays an infrared im-
age where the edges of the objects are enhanced with visual image details.
• Picture in picture : An infrared image frame is displayed on top of the visual image.
• Digital camera : The visual image captured by the digital camera is displayed.
Note
• For the Thermal MSX , Thermal , and Picture in picture image modes, all thermal and
visual information is stored when an image is saved. This means that you can edit the
image later, in the image archive, or in FLIR Tools/Tools+ or FLIR Report Studio, and
select any of the image modes.
• For the Digital camera image mode, a digital image with full resolution (5 MP) is stored
when an image is saved. However, no thermal information is stored.
• The Thermal MSX , Thermal , and Picture in picture image modes only work correctly for
calibrated lenses. The lens that ships with the camera is factory calibrated. To calibrate
a new lens, you must send the camera and the lens to your local service department.
