8.4 Thermal image adjustment
8.4.1 General
Thermal image adjustment, or thermal tuning, means adjusting the temperature scale of a thermal image, in order to maximize the brightness and contrast in the image.
In automatic mode, the camera continuously adjusts the image for the best presentation. The camera selects the coldest and warmest temperatures in the image as the lower and upper limits of the temperature scale. The colors are then distributed over that temperature interval (histogram color distribution).
In manual mode, you can adjust the temperature scale to values close to the temperature of a specific object in the image. The colors are distributed evenly from the lowest to the highest temperature (linear color distribution).
8.4.1.1 When to use manual mode
Here are two infrared images of a building. In the left image, which is auto- adjusted, the large temperature span between the clear sky and the heated building makes a correct analysis difficult. You can analyze the building in more detail if you change the temperature scale to values close to the temperature of the building.

8.7 Measurement parameters
For accurate temperature measurements, it is important to use appropriate measurement parameters:
· Emissivity: The emissivity determines how much of the radiation originates from the object as opposed to being reflected by it.
· Reflected temperature: This parameter is used to compensate for the radiation from the surroundings reflected by the object into the camera.
· Relative humidity: The relative humidity of the air between the camera and the object of interest.
· Atmospheric temperature: The temperature of the air between the camera and the object of interest.
· Distance: The distance between the camera and the object of interest.
Note During normal operation there is typically no need to change the default measurement parameters, see section 8.7.2 Recommended values, page 23.
8.7.1 Setting measurement parameters
Emissivity is the most important measurement parameter to set correctly. If the Emissivity is set to a low value, the Reflected temperature also becomes important. The parameters Relative humidity, Atmospheric temperature, and Distance are relevant for longer distances.
