Infrared conversion service Nikon APS-C

Description

Attention: Cameras marked with two ** have an internal infrared LED. Stray light from this LED can be visible in the image as a light reflex with long exposure times and / or dark lighting conditions (even with a strong ND filter). At normal exposure times and daylight conditions, the stray light from this LED is not perceptible.

Note: For cameras with a *, the automatic sensor cleaning function is lost during conversion. After the conversion, the sensor can be cleaned dry (e.g. with compressed air) or wet (e.g. with swabs) as usual. All preparations and methods available on the market for sensor cleaning can be used.

Note White Balance: With some cameras, the white balance cannot be set correctly in the camera. Depending on the lighting situation and filter, manual white balance in the camera is not possible and returns an error message (the problem also occurs with the InfraBlue filter). The white balance can be set to 2500K with color correction, but a clear magenta color cast usually remains in the image. When photographing in RAW (recommended), however, this does not matter because the white balance can be set correctly on the PC. Photographing black and white JPEGs in the camera is also possible without any problems.

Note Line Pattern: Some Nikon Z series users report line artifacts in infrared images. With a very high contrast image processing, lines of the AF system may become visible on the images. The chance increases with stronger IR filters, with weak filters the effect seems to be less pronounced. The lines are also only visible with very strong post-processing of contrast, clarity (Local Contrast) and/or haze removal.
