I’m still getting grainy results. Flir customer service transferred me to vm. I need help. I’ve played with the contrast and brightness and watched this video over and over to make sure I was doing everything recommended and still getting a super grainy image. Zeus 336 3-12x50
Cr 123as and extended battery pack.

Right now with all the weather any thermal is going to look washed out and grainy.

I was wondering if that was the case and should have asked that. Thank you for the response

Yup, we got choices ... in bad thermal conditions ... like rain ... high humidity ... high wind ...

01 - Crank up the contrast (call "gain" on some thermals) and enjoy the grainy ...

02 - Do not crank up the contrast ... and enjoy the washout.

How much to crank up the gain depends on conditions and personal preference. On my Mk3 60mm sometimes 2 click up is good and sometimes it is 3. 3 is grainier but sometimes needed to be able to see well enough. 2 clicks is less grainy but might be still too washed out in worse conditions.

I find that on my MK3 that it does not take much increase in contrast before the video out image absolute turns to crap, anything beyond 2 clicks. The viewfinder image will be a grainy, but the recorded image is terrible.
