Handling the camera13
Note
• Do not touch the lens surface when you adjust the infrared camera focus manually. If
this happens, clean the lens according to the instructions in 31.2 Infrared lens, page
216.
• The focus ring can be rotated infinitely, but only a certain amount of rotation is needed
when focusing.
• The response of the focus mechanism is progressive, meaning that a faster rotation of
the focus ring gives a disproportional higher speed of focus change. This allows for
both fine adjustment with a relatively large (but slow) rotation and rapid change with a
smaller (but faster) rotation. Furthermore, for a very slow rotation, the lens moves in
very small, discrete steps (which you can hear), allowing for a controlled fine adjustment of the focus.

13.14 Using the close-up lens
13.14.1 General
If you need to look at small objects very close up, you can attach the close-up lens to the
infrared lens.
When the close-up lens is attached, the digital camera and the infrared camera do not see
the same scene. This means that functions that are based on content captured by the digital camera cannot be used, e.g., continuous autofocus and some image modes.
When using the close-up lens, keep the following in mind. (For instructions, see section
13.14.2 Attaching the close-up lens, page 42.)
• For best performance, adjust the focus to infinity.
• The working distance for the close-up lens is 97 mm. (The working distance is the dis-
tance between the front of the lens and the closest surface of the object when the object is in sharp focus.)
• You must activate the global parameter External IR window compensation.
• Only use the Thermal image mode.
• Deactivate continuous autofocus.
• Do not use the laser pointer.
Note The close-up lens can only be used with the infrared lens f = 36 mm (28°).

Saving and working with images
14.1 About image files
14.1.1 General
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-processing in image analysis and reporting software from FLIR Systems. There is also a regular *.jpg component (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. Select
(Settings) > Save options & storage > Photo as separate JPEG = On.
14.1.2 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 information,
see section the setting File naming format in section 25.1.3 Save options & storage, page
83.
14.1.3 Image capacity
The capacity of a 4 GB memory card is theoretically 1000 images (with no annotations).
14.1.4 About UltraMax
UltraMax is an image enhancement feature that increases the image resolution and lowers
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
within the same file. Capturing all the images can take up to 1 second. To fully utilize UltraMax, 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 focus, a high-contrast scene, and a non-moving target are other conditions that help to
achieve a good-quality UltraMax image.
At present, only FLIR Tools/Tools+ and FLIR ResearchIR Max have the ability to process
UltraMax images. Other FLIR software will treat the image as a regular image.
To configure the camera for UltraMax, select
age resolution = UltraMax.

Achieving a good image
15.1 General
A good image depends on several different settings, although some settings affect the image more than others.
These are the settings you need to experiment with:
• Adjusting the infrared camera focus.
• Adjusting the infrared image, automatically or manually.
• Selecting a suitable temperature range.
• Selecting a suitable color palette.
• Changing the object parameters.
• Calibrating the camera.
The following sections explain how to change these settings.
In some situations, you may also want to hide the overlay graphics for a better view.
15.2 Adjusting the infrared camera focus
It is very important to adjust the focus correctly. Incorrect focus adjustment affects how the
image modes work. It also affects the temperature measurement.
You can adjust the focus manually by rotating the focus ring. For more information, see
section 13.6 Adjusting the infrared camera focus manually, page 33.
You can autofocus the infrared camera by the press of a button:
• The camera can be configured to autofocus when you push the Save button half-way
down. To enable the autofocus function of the Save button, select
options & storage > Save button half-press = Autofocus.
• You can assign the autofocus function to the programmable button
information, see section 13.11 Assigning functions to the programmable buttons, page
37.
The infrared camera can also be set up to perform continuous autofocusing. For more information, see section 13.8 Continuous autofocus, page 35.
15.3 Adjusting the infrared image
15.3.1 General
An infrared image can be adjusted automatically or manually.
In automatic mode, the camera continuously adjusts the level and span for the best image
presentation. The colors are distributed based on the thermal content of the image (histogram color distribution). The temperature scale to the right of the screen shows the upper
and lower temperatures of the current span.
In manual mode, you can adjust the temperature scale to values close to the temperature
of a specific object in the image. This will make it possible to detect anomalies and smaller
temperature differences in the part of the image of interest. In manual mode, the colors
are distributed evenly from the lowest to the highest temperature (linear color distribution).
This is indicated by lines on the temperature scale.
There are two different settings for the manual adjustment mode:
• Level, Span: With this setting, you can manually adjust the level and span.
• Level, Max, Min: With this setting, you can manually adjust the level. You can also
change the upper and lower temperatures individually.

15.7 Calibrating the camera
15.7.1 General
Calibration of the camera is performed as a non-uniformity correction (NUC). An NUC is
an image correction carried out by the camera software to compensate for different sensitivities of detector elements and other optical and geometrical disturbances
1
.
Calibration is needed whenever the output image becomes spatially noisy. The output can
become spatially noisy when the ambient temperature changes (such as from day to night
operation, and vice versa).
The calibration is carried out automatically when needed. It is also possible to perform a
calibration manually.
While the calibration is in progress, the text Calibrating... is displayed.
15.7.2 Manual calibration
You may, for example, want to perform a manual calibration just before you start recording
a video sequence.

Working with image modes
16.1 General
The camera captures both thermal and visual images at the same time. By your choice of
image mode, you select which type of image to display on the screen.
The camera supports the following image modes:
• Thermal MSX (Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging): The camera displays infrared images
where the edges of the objects are enhanced with visual image details.
• Thermal: A full infrared image is displayed.
• Picture in picture: An infrared image frame is displayed on top of the visual image.
• Digital camera: The visual image captured by the digital camera is displayed.
Note
• These image modes only work correctly for calibrated lenses. The lens that ships with
the camera is factory calibrated. To have a new lens calibrated, you must send in the
camera and the lens to your local service department.
• All thermal and visual information is stored when an image is saved. This means that
you can edit the image later, in the image archive, in FLIR Tools/Tools+, or in FLIR ResearchIR Max, and select any of the image modes.

17.5 Changing object parameters
17.5.1 General
For accurate measurements, you must set the object parameters.
17.5.2 Types of parameters
The camera can use these object parameters:
• External IR window compensation, i.e., the temperature of any protective windows, ex-
ternal lenses (e.g., the close-up lens), etc., that are set up between the camera and the
object of interest. If no protective window, protective shield, or external lens is used, this
value is irrelevant and should be left inactive.
• Object distance, i.e., the distance between the camera and the object of interest.
• Atmospheric temperature, i.e., the temperature of the air between the camera and the
object of interest.
• Relative humidity, i.e., the relative humidity of the air between the camera and the ob-
ject of interest.
• Reflected temperature, which is used when compensating for the radiation from the
surroundings reflected by the object into the camera. This property of the object is
called “reflectivity”.
• Emissivity, i.e., how much radiation an object emits, compared with the radiation of a
theoretical reference object at the same temperature (called a “blackbody”). The opposite of emissivity is reflectivity. The emissivity determines how much of the radiation
originates from the object as opposed to being reflected by it.
Note There is an Emissivity mode setting, which you can use to enter the emissivity
by material instead of by value. Select
(Settings) > Device settings > User interface
options > Emissivity mode > Select from materials table.
Of the object parameters, Emissivity is the most important parameter to set correctly. If the
Emissivity is set to a low value, the Reflected temperature also becomes important. The
parameters Object distance, Atmospheric temperature, and Relative humidity are relevant
#T559954; r. AL/37426/37426; en-US
64
Working with measurement tools17
for longer distances. The External IR window compensation must be activated if a protective window or external lens is used.
17.5.3 Recommended values
If you are unsure about the values, the following are recommended:
Object distance 1.0 m (3.3′)
Atmospheric temperature 20°C (69°F)
Relative humidity 50%
Reflected temperature 20°C (69°F)
Emissivity 0.95
17.5.4 Procedure
You can set the object parameters globally. You can also change the Emissivity, Reflected
temperature, and Object distance parameters locally for a measurement tool.
Local parameters are normally only effective for a fixed setup, where each measurement
tool is set to a specific object of interest. In a general handheld application, the global parameters are usually sufficient.
Note Of the object parameters, Emissivity and Reflected temperature are the two most
important to set correctly in the camera.
17.5.4.1 Setting global parameters
Follow this procedure:
1. Push the joystick to display the menu system.
2. Use the joystick to go to

Working with color alarms and isotherms
18.1 Color alarms
18.1.1 General
By using color alarms (isotherms), anomalies can easily be discovered in an infrared image. The isotherm command applies a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature
above, below, or between the set temperature levels. The camera also features isotherm
types that are specific to the building trade: condensation and insulation alarms.
You can make the camera trigger the following types of color alarms:
• Above alarm: This will apply a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature above
the specified temperature level.
• Below alarm: This will apply a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature below
the specified temperature level.
• Interval alarm: This will apply a contrasting color to all pixels with a temperature be-
tween two specified temperature levels.
• Condensation alarm: Triggers when the camera detects a surface where the relative hu-
midity exceeds a preset value.
• Insulation alarm: Triggers when there is an insulation deficiency in a wall.
18.1.2 Image examples

18.3 Building isotherms
Note The Condensation and Insulation alarms are not supported by all camera models.
18.3.1 About the Condensation alarm
To detect areas with potential moisture problems, you can use the Condensation alarm.
You can set the relative humidity above which the isotherm will colorize the image.
18.3.2 About the Insulation alarm
The Insulation alarm can detect areas where there may be an insulation deficiency in the
building. It will trigger when the insulation level (which is called the thermal index in the
camera) falls below a preset value of the energy leakage through a wall.
Different building codes recommend different values for the insulation level, but typical values are 60–80% for new buildings. Refer to your national building code for
recommendations.

• Atmospheric temperature: The current atmospheric temperature.
• Relative humidity: The current relative humidity.
• Relative humidity limit: The relative humidity level at which you want the alarm to be
triggered. A relative humidity of 100% means that water vapor condenses from the
air as liquid water (= dewpoint). A relative humidity of about 70% or above can
cause mold.
For the Insulation alarm, the following parameters can be set:
• Indoor temperature: The current indoor temperature.
• Outdoor temperature: The current outdoor temperature.
• Thermal index: The insulation level, an integer between 0 and 100.
