4.9 Infrared photography
Infrared Photography is complicated when using digital backs, as the digital back is adjusted to match the viewable light perfectly. To make good infrared photography, you need the back adjusted for this or a back dedicated to infrared photography. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
– all corrections in this area must be done by Phase One to ensure the precision. If you remove the protectionglass or make other physical adjustments on the back the warranty will immediately be annulled.
If you consider Infrared Photography, please contact your local
Phase One dealer for technical advice and pricing on this.
When taking photos using infrared film, the position at which the subject is in focus is slightly different than that of regular films. This is because the infrared rays have a longer wavelength and the image converges behind the film plane of regular film. Use the procedure described below when taking photos using infrared film.
1. Set the focus as usual. Read the point on the distance scale matching the center index of the depth scale.
2. Set the focus mode selector lever to “M” (manual focus mode). Turn the focusing ring clockwise and align the read point to the infrared index.
NOTICE:
Use a red filter when taking photos using infrared film.
Be sure to read the infrared film’s usage instructions.
You cannot take photos in AE modes when using an infrared film.
