picture effect is poor, you can perform shutter correction, which is common in
situations where the ambient temperature changes rapidly.
4.9.2 Shutter Correction Operation
In the imaging interface, click the return button to perform a non-uniformity
correction. During shutter correction, the screen will freeze for a short time,
which is normal.

5.1 Measurement Parameters
5.1.1 Setting Emissivity
In order to get more accurate measurement results, you need to set the
emissivity according to the target to be measured before each measurement,
instead of using the default configuration. Emissivity refers to the ratio of the
radiation ability of an object to that of a blackbody at the same temperature,
which is relative to the reflectivity of the object. The lower the emissivity, the
higher the percentage of energy reflected, and the higher the emissivity, the
lower the percentage of energy reflected. For example, human skin emissivity is
0.98 and printed circuit board emissivity is 0.91. For more emissivity
information, you can refer to the quick start guide in the package or inquire
from other ways.
Emissivity Setting
1. In the thermal imaging interface, press the center button to display the main
toolbar
2. select the “Settings” icon on the toolbar，and press the center button to
enter the settings menu.
5.1.2 Setting Ambient Temperature
1. In the thermal imaging interface, press the center button to display the main
toolbar
2. Select the “Settings” icon on the toolbar，and press the center button to
enter the settings menu.
3. Select "measurement parameters" in the list, press the confirm key, and then
select "ambient temperature" to set ambient temperature.

5.1.3 Setting Distance
Different distances will have different effects on the measurement results. For
accurate temperature measurement, the distance information of the object is
necessary for compensating for the result.
1. In the thermal imaging interface, click the OK button, and the main menu
toolbar will be displayed.
2. In the toolbar, select the "Settings" option and click the OK button to enter
"Settings".
3. Select "measurement" in the list, click the confirm button, and then select
"distance" to set the distance.
5.2 Temperature Unit
The camera supports temperature displays in degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, and
Kelvin.
5.3 High/Low Temperature Alarm
The camera supports the high and low temperature alarm function. The user can
set the high and low temperature alarm threshold. The alarm function can be
turned on or off by setting the "on" and "off" options. After the high and low
temperature alarm is triggered, a prompt icon will appear on the screen. If the
"LED alarm" option is turned on, the LED light will flash promptly when an
alarm occurs.
For alarm snapshot function, you can set the alarm snapshot time interval and the
number of photos taken. Turn on this function, after triggering the high and low
temperature alarm, it will take pictures according to the set time interval. When
the set number of pictures is reached, the camera will stop taking photos and this
function will be turned off automatically. It needs to be turned on again when it
is used.

set number of photos is reached, the camera will stop taking photos and this
function will be automatically turned off.
5.5 Temperature Measurement Gear
The temperature measurement range of the equipment is -20~550℃. In order to
ensure the imaging effect and temperature measurement range, the temperature
measurement range is divided into -20~150℃ and 100~550℃. Users can choose
different temperature measurement ranges independently according to the
application conditions.
5.6 System Settings
In system settings, you can view the relevant information of this camera, and
perform operations such as restoring factory default settings and formatting the
