10. CALIBRATING
THE SENSOR
When the image is degraded or uneven, it can be
improved by calibration. Calibration enables the
detector temperature background to be equa-
lized and defects in the image to be eliminated.
There are two calibration modes: manual (M) and
automatic (A). Select the required mode in the
CALIBRATION section of the MAIN MENU.
> M mode (manual)
The device needs to be calibrated manually.
– Short press the Up (4) + Down (3) button
for shutter calibration, and long press for
background calibration.
– The lens cap should be closed for back ground
calibration.
> A mode (automatic)
The device is calibrated autonomously by the
software algorithm. The lens cap need not be se-
cured (the sensor is closed by an internal shutter).
NOTE!
Manual shutter calibration and manual
background calibration
are still possible even in mode A.
