AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION
The camera has a mechanical shutter inside that periodically activates
and allows the thermal camera to do a calibration or image refresh. When
the shutter activates, the image will freeze for a brief period. The purpose
of the shutter is to allow the camera to provide an improved image.
When the camera rst turns on, and periodically thereafter, the app will
perform an automatic calibration to provide an optimal image. When the
Spot Meter is turned on, the automatic tuning will occur more often. It is
also possible to manually activate the shutter by tapping the Calibration
icon in the upper right on the main screen. Calibration can be switched to
manual by turning o Automatic Calibration in the Settings Menu.
CONTROL PANEL
Select the gear icon in the upper left to open the Control Panel.
The Control Panel allows the user to turn on/o the Light, access the
self-timer settings, enable/disable Close-Up mode, or access the Settings
menu. Tap the left arrow in the upper left to close the panel.
LIGHT
Multi Spectral Imaging (MSX) is a patented technology which makes
use of the visible camera in the FLIR ONE to maximize detail and image
sharpness. This feature requires some amount of visible light, so in dark
environments turn on the light to enhance the image detail. This feature
makes use of the light that is built into the phone.
TIMER
The Timer option allows the user to set a time delay before an image is
saved. When the Timer icon is selected, the Timer control panel toggles
between 0s (o), 3s and 10s. The user can set the time delay to 3 or
10 seconds or turn o the time delay option. When the Timer delay is
enabled, the user saves an image by tapping the Camera icon at the
bottom of the screen, and then a countdown timer displays on the image.
CLOSE-UP MODE
FLIR ONE uses two camera sensors (a thermal camera and a visible light
camera) and an exclusive image blending process called MSX to create a
detailed image. By default, the camera should be at least one meter (about
an arm’s length) away from the subject in the image for the blending to
work optimally. For closer subjects, it is possible to adjust the alignment of
the thermal and visible with the slider at the bottom of the image.
