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.)
Lighting Conditions
Suggested Initial
Exposure Compensation Value
for the IR Camera with No Filter
Daylight — sunny
-1.7 (use a lower value for cloudy conditions)
