Note:
Especially for nocturnal use, it is recommended to
adjust the display to a very dark level to reduce the glare
effect. If the TigIR™ is then switched on the next day, the
display will appear so dark that it may be thought to be
defective. Therefore, if the screen appears to be black,
you should always press the #1 button a few times first.
Zoom
Pressing button 2 briefly switches between the zoom
levels listed below. Some of these can be turned off
in corresponding menu (p.34).
0.8x:
This zoom level offers the best overview and
is particularly helpful for orientation. However, since
the zoom is negative, it is difficult to estimate dis-
tances.
1x:
In this setting all objects on the display are the
same size as in reality. This setting is especially use-
ful in outdoor applications for a natural estimation
of the distance to persons or animals.
2x, 4x and 6x:
The higher zoom levels are particu-
larly suitable for observation and identification. Fre-
quently heat sources whose origin cannot be easily
determined are found in settlements or in the forest.
For example, rotting tree stumps, anthills or larger
stones produce clear heat signatures that can easily
be mistaken for humans or animals. With the help
of a strong zoom setting, objects can be classified
better by observing their movements closely - stones
e.g. move very little.
TigIR-3Z™:
Due to the different optics, the zoom
levels are 1.6x, 2x, 4x, 8x and 11x.
