11.2.2 Voice annotation
A voice annotation is an audio recording that is saved to the infrared image file. The re-
cording can be played back in the camera, and in image analysis and reporting software
from FLIR Systems.
The voice annotation is recorded using a Bluetooth headset. For information on how to
pair a headset with the camera, see section 14.2 Bluetooth.
11.3 About image files
When you save an image, the camera stores the image file on the memory card.
Note Empty or use a memory card that has not previously been used in another type of
camera. The cameras may organize files differently on the memory card. There is there-
fore a risk of losing data if the same memory card is used in different types of cameras.
11.3.1 File-naming convention
The default naming convention for image files is FLIRxxxx, where xxxx is an incremental
counter.
It is also possible to save images with a date prefix added to the filename. However,
these files may not automatically be detected by third-party applications. For more infor-
mation, see section 16.5 Save options & storage.
11.3.1.1 Resetting the image counter
Note To prevent image files being overwritten, the new counter value will be based on
the highest existing filename number in the image archive. To ensure that the counter is
reset to 0001, insert an empty memory card before resetting the counter.
To reset the numbering of the image filenames, select Settings > Device settings > Reset
options > Reset image counter.... This displays a dialog box where you can select to re-
set the counter.
11.3.2 Image files
The camera saves an image file that includes all thermal and visual information. This
means that you can open an image file at a later time and, for example, change the color
palette, apply another image mode, 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 component (lossy) for convenient viewing in non-FLIR Systems software.
Note
• An image saved in HSM mode does not include all thermal information, meaning that
you can only change the color palette in post-processing.
• The camera can also be configured to save an extra low-resolution visual image as a
separate file. This can be convenient if you are not using a post-processing software.
Select Settings > Save options & storage > Photo as separate JPEG.
• When the Digital camera image mode is selected, a high-resolution digital image is
stored when an image is saved. However, no thermal information is stored.
