About the Italian version:

>Calcolare la lunghezza focale dell obiettivo della fotocamera, la densità dei pixel e vedere le zone della fotocamera in 3D

In actual Italian that would be:

Calcolo della lunghezza focale dell'obiettivo della fotocamera, della densità dei pixel e visualizzazione 3d delle zone di copertura

The current one is understandable, but sounds a bit like native americans talk in old westerns.

And - if I may - you have colours "reversed", I would instinctively expect green to be "good, OK", red "No good", yellow something midway.

Thank you jaclaz, for Italian translation correction! Idea with colors is that hotter color means higher number of pixels per meter or pixels per foot.

Yep, I can understand that, it is only (again IMHO) less intuitive at first sight.

It is only about conventions, in thermal images, usually red is "hot" and green/blue is "cool", but then it depends on what you use it for, if you do house thermal imaging, to check if insulation is good, if you do it from the inside cool is "bad", but from the outside hot becomes bad (in most common cases when outside is colder, i.e. winter, but it reverses meaning if you are testing for an air conditioning system in summer).

Not my industry, but:

Isn't the green for "not so serious" framing, and "not recording",

with red being "recording"?

you are referring to the "tally light", which uses a very limited range of values, usually 2 (off/red) or 3 (off/red/green) in a studio setting. since this here is a continuous value (based on multiple parameters) i would also think in terms of green being desirable and red being non-desirable.
As said above, it depends, battery indicators (usually) are:

green=OK

red=no good

yellow=so and so
