5 Calibrating the lens–camera combination

5.1 Introduction

Before a new lens can be used with the camera, the lens–camera combination must be

calibrated.

This is a process that previously had to be performed by a FLIR service department, but

for the FLIR Exx series and FLIR T5xx series the calibration can be performed by the

user, using a calibration target. The calibration target is included in the lens package.

5.2 Procedure

Note The images below show a FLIR Exx series camera, but the procedure is similar

for FLIR T5xx series cameras.

Follow this procedure:

1. Dip the calibration target in water for 1 second and let the excess drip off.

2. Tape or hang the calibration target on a wall.
