12.1 About image files
12.1.1 General
You can save images to the memory card.
The camera saves an image file including all thermal and visual information. This means
that you can open an image file at a later time and, for example, select another image
mode, apply color alarms, and add measurement tools.
The image jpg file is fully radiometric and saved lossless, which enables full post-proc-
essing in image analysis and reporting software from FLIR Systems. There is also a reg-
ular jpg part (lossy) for convenient viewing in non-FLIR Systems software (e.g., Microsoft
Explorer).
The camera can also be configured to save an extra visual image as a separate file. Se-
lect
(Settings) > Save options & storage > Photo as separate JPEG = On.
12.1.2 File-naming convention
The default naming convention for image files is FLIRxxxx.jpg, where xxxx is a unique
counter.
It is also possible to save images with a date prefix added to the file name. However,
these files may not automatically be detected by third-party applications. For more infor-
mation, see section the setting File naming format in section 23.1.3 Save options & stor-
age, page 72.
12.1.3 Image capacity
The capacity of a 4 GB memory card is theoretically 1000 images (with no annotations).
12.1.4 About UltraMax
UltraMax is an image enhancement feature that increases the image resolution and low-
ers the noise, making small objects easier to see and measure. An UltraMax image is
twice as wide and high as an ordinary image.
When an UltraMax image is captured by the camera, several ordinary images are saved
in the same file. Capturing all the images can take up to 1 second. To fully utilize Ultra-
Max, the images need to be slightly different, which can be accomplished by a slight
movement of the camera. You should hold the camera firmly in your hands (do not put it
on a tripod), which will make these images vary just a little during the capture. Correct fo-
cus, a high-contrast scene, and a non-moving target are other conditions that help to
achieve a good-quality UltraMax image.
At the moment, only FLIR Tools has the ability to process UltraMax images. Other FLIR
software will treat the image as a regular image.
To configure the camera for UltraMax, select
(Settings) > Save options & storage >
Image resolution = UltraMax.
