How we convert your camera to Infrared.

FEATURING: New Infrared cameras converted to your specs. •  Canon •  Nikon •  Olympus •  Panasonic •  Pentax •  Sony

First, the on-lens infrared filters are so dark you cannot see the subject throught the camera viewfinder while the filter is attached to the lens. Normal Infrared film shooting required framing your shot before attaching the IR filter on the lens. Second, this caused very long shutter/exposure times, limiting the ability to shoot moving subjects with out them being blurred. This also required the use of a tripod for most scenic pictures otherwise causing blurry images.

IR Filter

The unique ablility of digital camera CCD or CMOS Imaging Sensors to capture infrared light allows a photographer to take Infrared pictures at normal shutter speeds. There are no infrared filters used on the end of the lens which allows the photographer to use the IR camera just like a normal camera but with Infrared results.

Spencer's Camera can convert your digital camera to Infrared by removing the internal Low-Pass Filter (Hot Filter) over the imaging sensor and replace it with an Infrared Filter, enabling you to capture infrared photos with your own camera. This allows you to see through the lens, frame your shot, and capture images just like a normal camera but with the dramatic results of infrared photography.

High Quality Standards:

Spencer's Camera uses only the best and most advanced tools and techniques to perform the conversions. Great care is taken to insure your camera is handled in the highest quality and cleanest work room environment. All tools used are Antistatic ESD safe and the equipment is properly grounded for antistatic safety as well. Our technicians are professionaly trained giving the highest attention to maintaining accuracy during the IR conversion process and while calibrating your camera upon completion of the conversion. In many cases, slight focus adjustments are needed, and performed, to maintain sharp and accurate focus while shooting IR images. This means your camera will perform as well or better than before the IR conversion. Yes, included as part of the conversion service, we calibrate the Autofocus system during every conversion we perform. (FYI: the conversions are not permanent and can be reversed upon request at a minimal charge.) Spencer's Camera not only provides quality IR Conversion Services, we are also a Camera Repair Facility. This makes Spencer's Camera uniquely qualified to competently perform your camera conversion with great care and expertise. Also, this gives us a unique perspective and indepth understanding of camera functions and operations, allowing us to convert and calibrate your camera precisely and accurately. Also, we can repair your IR camera that was converted by other conversion providers. We have repaired many cameras that were converted by our competitors that do not provide repair services.

Filter Choices:

We currently offer Infrared Conversion services for more than 130 different models of cameras, including all current Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Pentax, Sony, Olympus and Fuji SLR models. Below is our comparison table listing the four most popular filter options. Only the highest image quality polished glass and quartz material is used in our conversions unlike some of our competitors that use plastic filters. Plastic filters will result in distortion and soft focus in the final images. The four options are:

• First, our Black and White (87C - 830nm) filter which allows only Infrared Light to reach the imaging sensor of the camera, creating deep, rich, black and white images.
• Second, our Standard (R72 - 720nm) filter which allows the camera to capture Infrared Light and a small amount of visible or color light.our Amplified Filter (665nm) which allows all Infrared Light and more visible or color light than the Standard filter to be captured by the camera.
• Third, our Amplified Filter (665nm) which allows all Infrared Light and more visible/color light than the Standard filter to be captured by the camera.
• Fourth: our Extreme Color IR Filter (590nm) which allows all Infrared and much more Visible/Color light to be captured by the camera.
• And Fifth: We also offer Full Spectrum (Clear - Quartz Filter) options for those interested in the UV, Visible and IR spectrums. The prices for these filter options, including installation service, are listed within the ordering links at the left of the page. We can also special order most any filter variation that you may need. Some of our customers have ordered special filters covering narrow or wide areas of the spectrum for specialty photography, including Astrophotography, Solar photography, Fireworks photography, Forensic photography and others. Also, we are constantly testing conversions on models that are not listed on this site. If you are interested in having a camera model converted that is not listed on this site please contact us as we can most likely accomidate your needs.
