Focus bar Out of focus Focused
When focusing a focus bar appears on the screen to assist in focusing the image. It indicates the approximate
distance in metres (in feet when °F is selected) of a focussed target from the camera.
Hotkey buttons
The Hotkey functions are indicated by the icons or text displayed on the screen above them.
These functions vary according to the operating options chosen by the user. A yellow box around the icon for
Hotkey1 or Hotkey2 indicates that this option is selected and this defines the operation of the navigation and
toggle buttons. In normal imaging mode, Hotkey 3 may be used to freeze the image; pressing it again returns
the camera to live operation. Hotkey 4 is used to enter and exit the menu. See appendix A2 for a full icon list.
d) Menu
The Menu is selected by Hotkey 4. Use the Navigation buttons to move around and use Hotkey 3 to select a
menu function. Full details of menus in section 5.

turned on, a text caption or voice annotation can be attached to the image (see section 6). Please note that
Hotkey 3 can be used to toggle between a live image and a frozen image.
f) Temperature measurement
Temperature readings are displayed at the top of the display. In the default mode, a single temperature in °C is
of the centre point of the cursor. The other readings at the top of the display are emissivity settings and
reflected temperature setting. Two cursors or a measurement area can be selected from the measurement
options menu (see section 5). The temperature range within the scene is indicated by a scale on the right hand
side of the display.
4. Thermal and visible image blending
The camera can show a thermal image or a visible image of the scene, or a mixed blend of both.
