INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY

Eyepiece Shutter

When unmanned photography is performed with the FA in one of its automatic exposure modes, stray light entering the eyepiece will affect the meter reading. To prevent this, use the eyepiece shutter Just push the lever up to close the shutter. As a visual reminder that it is in use, the shutter blind is painted red.

To create other-worldly effects, in which vegetation comes out light in tone and blue skies very dark, try shooting with black and-white infrared film In black and white infrared photography, you must use a red filter (R60) and refocus the lens to compensate for the fact that infrared light rays focus at a point slightly in front of visible Light For this purpose. most lenses have an infrared focusing index 47 (a red dot or line) beside the distance index 44 as a rule of thumb

Follow this procedure:

1)Without the red filter in place, look into the viewfinder and focus on your subject.

2)Look at the lens and take note of the focused distance.

3)Reset the focusing ring so that the desired distance is aligned with the infrared focusing index.

4)Attach the red filter and take the shot.
