ABSTRACT:
An infrared image pick-up apparatus includes: a body having a condenser lens for condensing an infrared ray emitted from an object, a sensor for detecting intensity of the condensed ray and generating an electric signal corresponding to the intensity, a signal processing circuit for processing the signal from the sensor, and a display device for displaying a two-dimensional infrared image in accordance with a signal from the circuit; and a grip provided separately from the body and attached thereto. The grip has an operating member for adjusting an infrared image on the display device. An infrared image pick-up apparatus includes: the lens, the sensor, a display device for simultaneously displaying both the intensity of the ray as a two-dimensional image in accordance with a signal processed by the circuit and an offset level, which is served as reference intensity of an infrared ray in displaying the image in accordance with the signal from the circuit; and a control device for changing the offset level and change speed thereof. An infrared image pick-up apparatus includes: a detecting device for detecting an internal temperature of an inside of the apparatus; an internal temperature operation device for performing an operation on an internal temperature datra on the basis of a signal outputted from the detecting device; an outputting device for outputting data of power consumption of the apparatus; and a peripheral temperature operation device for performing estimation and an operation of a peripheral temperature on the basis of the data of the internal temperature and the consumption.
