lnfrared
photogrophy
Infrared
(IR)
rays
(wavelengths
longer
than 800
nm)
form an
image
on
a
plane
further away
from
the
lens
than
the
image plane for visible
light. To
compensate
for this
difference you
have to align the
chosen
distance
against the
red IR index and
not
the
normal
central
in-
dex.
Proceed as follows:
1. Focus as usual.
2.Note the
distance on the
focusing
scale
that is oppo-
site the
central index
line
on the
lens.
3. Now
rotate the
focusing ring to set this distance op-
posite
the
red IR index spot instead ofthe central
in-
dex
line.
The
illustration shows a lens
focused
at approx.
4 me-
tres
for infrared film. See specific
film instruction leaf-
let
for
details
of filters,
film
storage,
handling and de-
velopment.
Pleose moke
tests
with
your
choice of
infrared film
before
use. High speed black
and white
infrored
film,
for
example, can be
slightly
fogged
on the
edge
of the
film frame
by
the
film
transport emitter/
sensor
system.
