button that you used to open it.
• Blank objects may appear as warm or
cold in the camera due to reflections of
other objects.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the details that
you are inspecting.
• Various types of faults, such as those
in a building’s construction, may result
in the same type of infrared images.
• Correctly analyzing an infrared image
requires professional knowledge about
the application.

ROM for further information on camera
functionality, applications, the theory of
thermography, and thermographic
measurement techniques.
