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 dierent 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 in front of 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.
NOTICE:
You cannot take photos in AE modes when
using an infrared lm as the AE is based on
visible light.
