Sun Burn Protection When enabled, the infrared shutter automatically closes in strong sunlight.
Infrared Thermometry Parameters [1] Temperature measurement accuracy is affected by various factors. It is recommended to set the environment parameters to improve the accuracy. Emissivity of objects: The emissivity of the object will affect temperature measurement accuracy. Generally, accuracy increases proportionally to emissivity. Refer to Infrared Parameters section for emissivity of common objects. Temperature measurement distance: The distance can be set from 1 to 300 m. The real-time RNG value is for your reference when the Laser Rangefinding or Center Point Temperature Measurement is enabled.

ZENMUSE H30 SERIES User Manual
Air humidity: Temperature and humidity resistance has been calibrated before delivery, but extreme humidity levels will affect measurement accuracy. So you can set the humidity of current environment to improve the accuracy. Temperature: When selecting Auto, the temperature value detected by the sensor will be used. You can also set the temperature manually.
[1] When measuring a blackbody 13 m away at 25° C in a windless indoor environment without the infrared density filter, the infrared thermal camera provides an accuracy of ±2° C or ±2% (whichever is the larger value) when using the High Gain mode, and an accuracy of ±5° C or ±3% (whichever is the larger value) when using the Low Gain mode. Since the emissivity of different blackbodies varies, this measurement result only represents the accuracy of tested blackbodies and is for reference only. It is recommended to set the correct thermometry parameters to improve the accuracy.

[1] The gimbal may vibrate if exceeding the maximum ground speed. Image quality may be affected.
[2] The rangefinding data may vary based on the material and shape of the tested object as well as the impact of gimbal angle, environmental light, and weather conditions such as rain or fog. If a laser pulse hits multiple targets, its energy is dispersed, which may reduce the measurable distance.
[3] For a flat surface subject (when the subject size exceeded the laser beam diameter), with an atmospheric visibility of 23 km (the laser has a shorter range in clear conditions compared with overcast conditions), the laser impinges at an oblique angle (with an angle of incidence of approx. 0.2 radians).

Download DJI Decrypt Tool from the DJI official website to decrypt the microSD card on a Windows computer and access the card content.

Infrared Parameters
Palettes
Distinct colors are used to show temperature differences in the thermal image using grayscale intensity. The temperature range of the image is mapped to 256 colors and displayed in the 8-bit JPEG or MP4 format. The infrared thermal camera offers a variety of palette options, the table shows all palette options.

Palette Description

White Hot

The mostly commonly used pseudo color, using white for high temperatures and black for low temperatures, which is a natural association for people.

Fulgurite

Dark red represents low temperatures and white represents high temperatures. The warm tone of this palette aligns with peoples’ association with hot temperatures.

Iron Red

This palette displays nuanced differences in heat signatures, quickly displaying anomalies and human bodies. Hotter objects appear as light warm colors and colder objects appear as dark cool colors.

Hot Iron

Red represents high temperatures, and cool colors represent low temperatures. Users are able to identify hot target quickly, while showing the details of cool targets.

Medical

This palette shows nuanced differences in temperatures, and is therefore ideal for scenarios with small temperature changes. In environments with low contrast, it is still able to detect objects and slight temperature changes. It is mainly used in the medical field for human body temperatures.

Arctic

Uses the same palette as Medical, except switching the purple for a cool blue to better reflect temperature changes.

ZENMUSE H30 SERIES User Manual

Rainbow 1

Similar to Medical, it reduces the warm color ratio and increases the cold color ratio for high temperature targets to better show the details of cool targets.

The color transition is reduced and the warm and cold colors are moderately Rainbow 2 proportioned, which helps show the details of high and low temperature targets
at the same time.

Uses black and white for low temperatures and bright red for high temperatures,

Tint

allowing users to detect high temperature objects quickly. Mainly used for high-contrast environments, ideal for quickly and accurately identifying high

temperature objects.

The opposite to White Hot, using black for warmer objects and white for cooler Black Hot objects. The heat distribution of high temperature objects can be better observed
when outdoors.

Emissivity

Emissivity is the ability of the object to emit infrared radiation, which is affected by factors such as the material, the roughness or degree of oxidation of the object’s surface. The table below shows the emissivity of common objects for reference.

Material Glass Ceramics Concrete Plastic (opaque) Paper Soil Aluminum Brass Iron Lead Steel Water Oil

Emissivity 0.85 0.95 0.95 0.95 0.95 0.92 (dry); 0.95 (wet) 0.3 0.5 0.7 0.5 0.8 0.93 0.94
