8.8.2  Emissivity

Emissivity is a measure of the amount of radiation coming from an object,‎ compared with that from a perfect blackbody of the same temperature.
Emissivity values normally range from 0.1 to 0.95. A highly polished (mirror)‎ surface falls below 0.1,‎ while an oxidized or painted surface has a higher emissivity. Oil-based paint,‎ regardless of its color in the visible spectrum,‎ has an emissivity of over 0.9 in the infrared. Human skin has an emissivity 0.97–0.98. Non-oxidized metals represent an extreme case of perfect opacity and high reflexivity,‎ which does not vary greatly with wavelength. Consequently,‎ the emissivity of metals is low—only increasing with temperature. For non-metals,‎ emissivity tends to be high,‎ and decreases with temperature.
For accurate measurements,‎ you must select the correct emissivity setting. You can select a value between 0.01 and 0.99. For a list of emissivity data for different materials,‎ see section 16 Emissivity tables.

8.8.3  Temperature unit

Available options for the Temp unit setting:
  • °C (Celsius)‎
  • °F (Fahrenheit)‎

The Auto off function automatically turns off the camera after a selectable period of inactivity.
Available options:
  • 5 min (5 minutes)‎
  • 10 min (10 minutes)‎
  • ∞ (the camera will not turn off automatically)‎
