With 16 Bit convert (Q16) we can simple stretch the brightness from 16*256=4096 to 238*156=60928
Good day, friends! I just discovered this awesome thread!
Please tell, is there a hack for latest Flir E4 HW model (1.1) with
latest firmware (1.2something), or I am too late to the party?
Hi Chaps,
Sorry for this basic....... falling at the first hurdle, but where do I find E8.cfg ?!

Thanks, but that's where I read about needing the e8.config........
begins.... OK, so this is it.....
Seems to not be bothered about 7zip - I just used Windows "send to compressed folder"
Open E8.cfg in a PC text editor (not anything that will mangle linefeeds etc.!) where's that fromHi Chaps,

I have taken some sample pictures for you to look at. The titles are the descriptors but here is more info.
Conc-T is the concave side facing the target
ConV-T is the convex side facing the target
100mm shows the image produced using the 100mm FL lens
here is the zoom enable instruction:
1. enable zoom in FlashFS\system\appcore.d\config.d\e8.cfg (from E4 hack): .caps.config.image.zoom.enabled bool true , don't forget to renew CRC01!
2. edit menu part in FlashBFS\system\ui.d\toolbar-config_z3.xml (from menu hack) as shown:
<ToolBar name="zoomMenu">
<ToolBar name="zoom_1x"/>
<ToolBar name="zoom_2x"/>
<ToolBar name="zoom_4x"/>
<ToolBar name="zoom_8x"/>
</ToolBar>
that's it

I get an error when running the splitjpg.php
convert.exe: Unknown field with tag 18248 (0x4748) encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/847.

Works like a charm! Thanks
First try at panorama, converting to tiff, resize/sharpen and stitching went fine.

The resulting pano1.jpg now is the same as the FLIR0172.jpg.
I tried it but no obvious difference - was in a hurry so may have missed something. What FW version do you have?
I wonder whether the E4 will do any 'clever' image enhancement when in zoom mode. Having the ability to narrow the field of view at the expense of resolution is still a useful function to have. Even if only X2 is used (160x120 pixels), it's a bargain when compared to the cost of a X2 Germanium lens group
After repeating my tests of the 50mm lens I have come to the conclusion that my orientation of the lens with the concave side facing the target is compromised by the E4 application. As such I have changed my view on which way to install the lens. I will be changing my 50mm lens to have the convex side facing the target. The defocussing isn't serious enough to concern me and the edge distortion is significantly reduced.
The 100mm lens is bi-convex and therefore has no preferred orientation Nice and simple.
I was stupid not to open the pano1.jpg in flir tools, even if it looks wrong in windows preview, it is bigger after all.
However, the temperature scale is all wrong when imported to flir tools, the input images are all in about 15-28°C range, the result is in the -36-289°C range with auto scale.
