Note:
Fixed Pattern Noise exists on every image sensor.
5.7.1 Calibrate Black Level:
The general rule is to do a Black Level Calibration if ever you believe the image looks noisy with Pixel FPN turned on. To be assured that you
are getting the best possible images, perform a calibration:
• When you first boot the camera up.
• If you change Shutter Speed, Frame Rate, Resolution, or Offset.
5.7.2 To Calibrate the Camera
1. Set the camera to Live.
2. Shut out all light to the sensor: close the f-stop down all the way and put a lens cap on it or cover it securely.
3. From the Configuration menu, choose Black Level Calibration.
4. In the Advanced Settings section of the Record Settings Tab you will see an FPN selection dropdown menu. The items include Disabled,
Column, or Pixel. Click on that button and select the FPN setting you wish to use, based on the following:
• Pixel FPN is a per-pixel image correction that is done in the
Blaster’s Ranger II™ Lt
’s image processor engine. It provides the cleanest
images available. This is the setting that is most highly recommended.
• Column FPN is an image correction done on the
Blaster’s Ranger II™ Lt
’s sensor. It does not do as good a job cleaning up the images
as Pixel FPN.
• FPN Off means that there is no noise correction being used.
5.8 Record: Arm and Trigger

5.8.1 Take a Still JPEG
Still JPEG Image. It is optional, but recommended, to take a reference still of the scene:
With the
Blaster’s Ranger II™ Lt
in Live Mode (not Recording or Reviewing a recording) either click on the Trigger Button or click on
“Snapshot...” in the Camera menu.
A dialog box will appear asking where to store the image. Select the storage media you wish to use. (The image will be saved in <storage
device>/dcim/100fastc.)
