• Digital camera: The camera displays a digital camera image.
To display a good fusion image (Thermal MSX, Picture-in-picture, and Thermal blending
modes), the camera must make adjustments to compensate for the small difference in
position between the digital camera lens and the infrared lens. To adjust the image accu-
rately, the camera requires the alignment distance (i.e., the distance to the object).
8.13.2 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Push the center of the navigation pad. This displays a toolbar.
2. On the toolbar, select Image mode
. This displays a toolbar.
3. On the toolbar, select one of the following:
• Thermal MSX
.
• Thermal
.
• Picture-in-picture
.
• Thermal blending
. This displays a dialog box where you can select the mixing
level.
• Digital camera
.
4. If you have selected the Thermal MSX, Picture-in-picture, or Thermal blending mode,
also set the distance to the object by doing the following:
• On the Image mode toolbar, select Alignment distance
. This displays a dialog
box.
• In the dialog box, select the distance to the object.
8.14 Changing the temperature scale mode
8.14.1 General
The camera can, depending on the camera model, operate in different temperature scale
modes:
• Auto mode: In this mode, the camera is continuously auto-adjusted for the best image
brightness and contrast.
• Lock mode: In this mode, the camera locks the temperature span and the temperature
level.
• Manual mode: This mode allows manual adjustments of the temperature span and
the temperature level.
8.14.2 When to use Lock mode
A typical situation where you would want to use Lock mode is when looking for tempera-
ture anomalies in two items with a similar design or construction.
For example, if you are looking at two cables, where you suspect one is overheated,
working in Lock mode will clearly show that one is overheated. The higher temperature in
that cable would create a lighter color for the higher temperature.
