Try unboxing ALG (Automatic Level & Gain) and adjusting the Level and Gain values yourself. As soon as you unbox ALG, you'll get the LG option next to OSB1, click it and you'll be able to adjust level and gain values using OSBs 2/3 and 4/5 (they'll replace ZOOM and FOCS).

 

You can also play with the DDI contrast knob and see if it helps, in addition to adjusting Level and Gain.

For reasons unknown - ATFLIR picture is extremely bad at night with ALG turned on.  Your best bet is to follow advice from @harker
