Camera Start-Up
The camera requires approximately 5 seconds of start-up time.
During these 1
st
5 seconds after the camera is switched on, a logo
will appear in the Display. After 5 seconds have passed, the logo
will disappear, and video of the thermal scene begins.
Camera Shutter
To maintain an optimum Thermal Image, the X320 automatically
shutters. During this shutter, the video freezes for approximately
3/4 second, and a faint “click” sound may be heard inside the
camera. Shuttering occurs in the 1
st
2 minutes after turning on the
camera at 30-second intervals. Otherwise, the camera shutters only
if its internal temperature changes by 2°C or more.
Automatic Contrast
Video contrast is constantly adjusted either higher or lower, based
upon the informational content in the scene.
When viewing people, automobiles, boats, and other warm objects
at close range, the video gain is automatically decreased to provide
more detail on facial features and flat surfaces.
When viewing a scene with low informational content, i.e. a park,
field, or roadway, the video gain is automatically increased to
provide more detail in the background of the scene, e.g. trees,
bushes, roadway edges.
