Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / April 2005IR setup
I did a simple test and found out that my Finepix E550 does not filter out the IR. Now the question is how to setup something to filter out visible light. Any pointer please. > I did a simple test and found out that my Finepix E550 does not filter out > the IR. Now the question is how to setup something to filter out visible > light. Any pointer please. The cheapest IR filter is a Ilford SFX gelatin. These can be cut and taped over your lens. I don't think the E550 takes a screw on filter. If you have a glass filter you could tape that in place as well. The E550 takes a filter by removing the outer ring round the lens (pressing the release button to do so) and fitting the adapter accesory. The adapter has a 43mm thread and using a 43 to 49mm step-up ring you can fit 49mm filters or the tele converter lens or the wide angle converter. Question: I find the LCD screen very difficult to "read" in bright weather. I have the LCD brightness control set to maximum. Is there any way to improve LCD legibility? > I did a simple test and found out that my Finepix E550 does not filter out > the IR. Now the question is how to setup something to filter out visible > light. Any pointer please. lets look at the problem. you want to takew ir pictures. you want to filter out the rest of the light. google words: buy ir filter http://infrareddreams.com/how_to_shoot_ir.htm "...Wratten #89B, Wratten #88A, Wratten #87, and Wratten #87C filters..." where to buy... http://www.calumetphoto.com/ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ http://samys.com/ I was unclear in my original post. I know what filter to use but my camera does not take filter. I am wondering if someone has information on how to do this. >> I did a simple test and found out that my Finepix E550 does not filter >> out [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ > http://samys.com/ > I was unclear in my original post.

AR-FEX02 is the adapter you want. the filters will be 49mm. > >> I did a simple test and found out that my Finepix E550 does not filter > >> out [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ > > http://samys.com/ Thanks! >> I was unclear in my original post.

I did a hack on a Wein IR transmiter , it turned out to to be just a normal flash whit a RED - GREEN & BLUE pice of plastic filters stacked in front of the 'light-emitter'. So if you try stacking folies whit thees 3 colores in front of your objectiv you may have an IR filter :-) A,P, > > I did a simple test and found out that my Finepix E550 does not filter out > > the IR.

I am surprised the Wein meter didn't just use a deep red Wratten 29 type filter. > > I did a simple test and found out that my Finepix E550 does not filter out > > the IR.

Calling this an 'IR filter' may be wrong. >It's more an 'Visible light cutout filter' Maybe it just depends on how technical you care to be, for the intended use here, 'Visible light cutout filter' would be basically the same as an IR filter. Technically IR filters should be called NIR filters. This is because consumer/pro level CCD's or CMOS sensors/cameras have virtually no ability to convert/record InfraRed but can & do convert/record Near InfraRed light. It would be nice to have a true digital IR camera so I could take thermal IR pictures of my house & car in the winter & record the hot spots were heat was being lost. Might be nice to have the same type of IR video cameras that both the Police & the Military use to track suspects or the enemy but if I recall correctly those cost about $100,000.00 USD each minimum. Way too much money for me & even if I could afford it, I could not justify the expense. It would be a fun but limited toy though! Respectfully, DHB "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |
