If you have any issues that are unrelated and are not a result of taking the IR filter off you can have repaired under warranty. They may not honor the warranty in which case I would suggest calling the company. Most will be willing to work with you and may wave the repair cost if it is found to be an unrelated issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573479494985497170.post-22433618136597144372009-09-15T19:36:01.831-06:002009-09-15T19:36:01.831-06:00It depends on how you have the modification done. ...It depends on how you have the modification done. If the camera is modified, they HAVE to replace the blocker glass with something glass to maintain focus.<br /><br />Clear Glass = All light reaches the sensor, there is no blocking of any wavelength.<br /><br />Various "IR Filter" glass can be used, an equal to the Hoya R-72 is common, which will block most visible and allow most IR wavelenghts.<br /><br />There are numerous choices now as to what replaces the IR blocker when it is removed. Talk to the company who is doing the modification for you.<br />.Infrared Photography Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356269333611586694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573479494985497170.post-53878378653309686412009-09-10T22:30:17.541-06:002009-09-10T22:30:17.541-06:00first of all thanks for writing this blog! its ver...first of all thanks for writing this blog! its very informative.<br /><br />my question with the cameras that are modded (IR blocking taken out), wouldnt that let visible light through? thus mixing the two lights? you have a picture of it on the fighting filters page.. would every picture turn out like this? or to get just IR light would you have to put a filter on to take out visible light?

There are a number of issues that you should investigate.<BR/><BR/>http://irbuzz.blogspot.com/2007/07/most-significant-web-forum-for-ir.html<BR/><BR/>Your DSLR, not having a live-view capability on the LCD will require that you compose and focus in visible light, using a tripod, and then screw on the IR filter to take the IR shot. You will be able to shoot at all shutter speeds, and aperture settings, but you can't do composition and focus with the filter in front of the lense because you can't see thru the IR filter.<BR/><BR/>Full Spectrum is still a good choice, just be sure that you will be able to shoot IR as you expect before you select the type of mod you want done to your camera.<BR/><BR/>LifePixel is a good choice for the modding process.<BR/><BR/>-=- Jerry -=-<BR/>.Infrared Photography Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356269333611586694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573479494985497170.post-5641162944781334252008-08-21T00:46:00.000-06:002008-08-21T00:46:00.000-06:00Hey Jerry, I really appreciate your in-depth descr...Hey Jerry, I really appreciate your in-depth descriptions. I have a secondary Nikon D70 that is currently siting on the shelf since my last purchase of my Canon 40D. I recently came across a company called Life Pixel Infrared Conversion (www.lifepixel.com) they seem to be very professional with their process. I was reviewing their examples of different types of IR conversion that they do, and came across the Full Spectrum Clear Conversion which they say has the advantage of shooting all types of IR. Do you suggest the Full Spectrum Conversion if I am comfortable enough to manually operate my camera, as long as I use the Hoya R72 Filter? I am quite interested in being able to shoot Full Spectrum as well...<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15214086101428136341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573479494985497170.post-57451645439118319262007-04-06T06:42:00.000-06:002007-04-06T06:42:00.000-06:00nitzus,I don't blame you for not wanting to void y...nitzus,<BR/><BR/>I don't blame you for not wanting to void your camera's warranty.<BR/><BR/>Read the installment above this one, "My DSLR is Not Modded" and pay attention to the "Cons" near the end of the Post, for issues you will encounter shooting with a screw-on filter and a un-modded camera. <BR/><BR/>Short answer is, Yes, you can achieve good IR images with your 400D and a screw-on IR Pass filter. Canon DSLRs, especially the newer models have a very aggressive filter in them that blocks the IR light you are trying to capture. That means, using a tripod, and long exposure times.<BR/><BR/>As in shooting Visible Color, long exposure times limit you to subjects that don't move. Trees for instance will have a lot of motion blur. You will also tend to get digital noise, just as you would in any long exposure shot. If you bump the ISO up to reduce the shutter speed, the noise will tend to increase. <BR/><BR/>The issues are really the same as in the color shooting you are doing now.<BR/><BR/>But, Yes you can get good quality IR images, you will just have to work a bit harder for the exposure, and probably spend more time and effort in you editor in Post Processing.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>Ask specific questions if you have any. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>-=- Jerry -=-Infrared Photography Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356269333611586694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573479494985497170.post-58551107110217231332007-04-06T02:40:00.000-06:002007-04-06T02:40:00.000-06:00Hi,Since my EOS 400D is still under warranty, and ...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Since my EOS 400D is still under warranty, and i don't intend to void it, are you saying that IR can still be achieved by using the external filter?
