6.1 Thermal camera image
The thermal camera provides a video image which is shown
on your display.
The video feed provides:
• Thermal image.
• Status icons / system information.
You should take time to familiarize yourself with the thermal
image. This will help you to make the most of your system:
• Consider every object you view in terms of how it will look
“thermally” as opposed to how it looks to your eye. For
example look for changes caused by the heating effect of the
sun. These are particularly evident right after sunset.
• Experiment with white-hot and black-hot (reverse video)
modes.
• Experiment by looking for hot objects (such as people)
compared to the colder surroundings.
• Experiment with the camera for daytime viewing. The camera
can provide improved daytime viewing in environments where
traditional video camera performance suffers, such as in
shadows or backlit scenes.

FFC (Flat Field Correction)

ambient temperature.
The FFC operation is indicated by a momentary pause and a
green rectangle displayed in the upper left of the thermal video
image.
