9.13 Infrared Photography
Infrared Photography is complicated when using digital backs, as the
digital back is adjusted to match the viewable light perfectly.
Use a dedicated digital back for infrared photography. The IQ back needs
to be adjusted to work properly for infrared photography. DO NOT TRY
THIS AT HOME!
– All corrections in this area must be done by Phase One to ensure
precision. If you remove the protective glass or make other physical
adjustments on the back the warranty will immediately be void.
If you are considering Infrared Photography, please contact your
local Phase One dealer for technical advice and pricing.
Infrared light has a slightly different area of sharpness compared to
the viewable light so when the distance is set on the lens, you should
always manually correct sharpness, to be aligned with the red dot.
Do not use your camera’s light meter when photographing infrared, as
the light meter is aimed towards reading the visible light.
NOTE:
You cannot take photos in AE modes
when using an infrared lm as the AE is
based on visible light.
