Various types of faults, such as those in a buildings construction, may result in the same type of thermal pattern. Correctly analyzing an infrared image requires professional knowledge about the application.
3.
Rotate the lens 30 counterclockwise (looking at the camera from the rear).
To keep in mind
Adjust the focus first. When the camera is out of focus, the measurement is wrong. By default, most cameras adapt the scale automatically. Use this mode first, but do not hesitate to set the scale manually. A thermal camera has a resolution limit. This depends on the size of the detector, the lens, and the distance to the target. Use the center of the spot tool as a guide to the minimum possible object size, and get closer if necessary. Make sure to stay away from dangerous areas or live electrical components. Be careful when holding the camera perpendicular to the targetyou can become a source of infrared radiation through reflection. Select a zone of high emissivity, i.e., an area with a matte surface, to perform a measurement. Blank objects, i.e. with low emissivities, may appear warm or cold in the camera, as they can cause reflections. Avoid direct sunlight on the details that you are inspecting.
