12.14.2.2 Explanation
Camera modes area: To define which camera modes to enable in the camera, select the
camera mode. For more information on each camera mode, see section 12.5.2 Explana-
tion of the different camera modes, page 29.
Trigger button area: The camera has a trigger button. With the settings in the Trigger but-
ton area, you can select the function of the trigger button. You select what will happen
when you click (short press) the trigger button and what will happen when you hold (long
press) the trigger button.
• No action, No action: Select to disable any functionality of the trigger button. Nothing
will happen when you press the trigger.
• No action, Freeze image: Select to make the camera freeze the image when you
press and hold the trigger. The image will unfreeze when you release the trigger.
Nothing will happen when you press the trigger momentarily.
• No action, Record video (not applicable to the FLIR K45): Select to make the camera
start a recording when you press and hold the trigger. The recording will stop when
you release the trigger. Nothing will happen when you press the trigger momentarily.
• Save image, No action: Select to make the camera save an image when you press
the trigger momentarily. Nothing will happen when you press and hold the trigger.
• Save image, Freeze image: Select to make the camera save an image when you
press the trigger momentarily and freeze the image when you press and hold the trig-
ger. The image will unfreeze when you release the trigger.
• Save image, Record video (not applicable to the FLIR K45): Select to make the cam-
era save an image when you press the trigger momentarily and start a recording when
you press and hold the trigger. The recording will stop when you release the trigger.
• Rec. on/off, No action (not applicable to the FLIR K45): Select to make the camera
start a recording when you press the trigger and stop the recording when you press
the trigger again. Nothing will happen when you press and hold the trigger.
• Continuous rec. (trigger disabled) (not applicable to the FLIR K45): Select to make
the camera start a continuous video recording when you turn on the camera. The re-
cording cannot be stopped. Nothing will happen when you press the trigger.
Gain mode area:
• Auto gain mode: Select to make the camera automatically switch between the high-
sensitivity range and the low-sensitivity range, depending on the scene temperature.
The temperature level at which the camera switches between the two modes is 150°C
(302°F).
• Low gain mode: Select to make the camera operate in the low-sensitivity range only.
This has the advantage that the camera does not perform a non-uniformity correction
(NUC) when an object with a temperature higher than 150°C (302°F) enters the
scene. However, the disadvantage is lower sensitivity and a higher level of signal
noise.
Temperature unit area: To select a different temperature unit, click Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Thermal indication area:
• Digital readout only: Select to display the thermal information in the image as the tem-
perature of the spotmeter only. In modes with automatic heat colorization, the color-
ization of the image will remain but the static heat color reference icon will not be
displayed.
• Reference bar: In modes with automatic heat indication colorization, a vertical heat
color reference bar is displayed in the thermal indication area. This static icon shows
how heat colors are applied to the range of the camera mode. The colors yellow, or-
ange, and red correspond to a temperature-dependent change in hue as the tempera-
ture increases.
• Temp bar: Select to display the thermal information in the image as a temperature bar,
similar to a thermometer. This displays a dynamic vertical temperature bar on the
right-hand side of the image. The top of the dynamic bar represents the temperature
of the measured spot. In modes with automatic heat colorization, the colorization of
