12.2.6  Adjustment mode
There are four adjustment modes selectable via the IR Camera menu sys-
tem; Auto Level, Auto Level-Span, DDE and Manual. 
In Auto Level mode, level is automatically adjusted.
In Auto Level-Span mode, both level and span are automatically 
adjusted.
DDE Digital Detail Enhancement) is an automatic adjustment mode 
for level and span, which also enhances the visibility of details in the 
scene.
In Manual mode, level and span adjustments are made manually.
The most suitable mode depends on many factors. Auto mode normally 
gives a good image quality, but in scenes with low or high contrast DDE 
and/or Manual mode may be better.  
NOTE: For typical settings in low and high contrast scenes, please refer to section 12.3.
12.2.6.1  Selecting mode
Toggle between Auto, DDE and Manual to see which of the modes suits 
the current situation best.
NOTE: If DDE mode is selected when manual adjustments have been made in Auto mode, 
the manual adjustments will still apply. This is indicated with the symbol * in the top line 
status bar: DDE*. It is recommended to set the brightness and contrast values to 0, see 
section 12.2.7.1.
NOTE: In Manual mode, frequent manual adjustments (see section 12.2.7.3) are needed 
to achieve a good image.
