4.4 Menu
Control
FlashSight provides a user control to select and adjust various items using an
on-screen menu. This control, which is located on the front of the FlashSight
assembly just below the camera lens, is a push-turn device (i.e., it can be
rotated like a knob and also pushed like a button). Pressing the button will
cause an on-screen menu as shown in Figure 12 to be displayed. Each row of
the menu allows you to affect one of the following settings:
1. Toggle video polarity – hot objects displayed brighter or darker than
cold objects.
2. Toggle video-optimization – automatic (“AUTO”) or manual adjustment.
3. Adjust brightness / contrast (not available in “AUTO” mode).

Note
The gauge showing the image-capture capacity is also shown when the menu is
displayed. This allows you to verify the remaining capacity without having to capture
an image.
