Thermal camera scene presets
Scene presets enable you to quickly select the

During normal operation the thermal camera

presets provide 4 additional settings that may
provide better imagery in certain conditions. The 4
modes are:
Night Running — scene preset mode for
night conditions.
Day Running — scene preset mode for
daytime conditions.
Night Docking — scene preset mode for
night docking.
Search — scene preset mode for identifying
people or objects in the water.
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

preset to use for different conditions.
