Appendix F — Using an Infrared

Camera

This appendix provides information for customers who have purchased the infrared (IR) version of the camera.

This appendix assumes that you are familiar with infrared photography, and provides only the following introductory material specific to the IR version of the camera.

The camera is a monochrome camera.

Unlike other camera models that incorporate a cover glass that blocks infrared light, the IR camera has a standard cover glass that allows infrared light to reach the imager.

The spectral response of the IR camera is 420 to 1,000 nanometers at greater than 5% quantum efficiency.

The table below suggests initial values for several lighting conditions using exposure compensation. (If you were to shoot outside without exposure compensation, the results would be significantly overex- posed.)
