Visible Light Camera
The Canon 7D is a professional digital SLR camera.
Because of the nature of the IR enabling modification, we do not recommend this
camera to anyone who does not fully understand the implications of the
modification.
We can modify this camera to be IR+Visible+UV,
High-Red, IR-Only, High Resolution (HR) and UV-Only.
 | IR+Visible+UV: Camera seee everything the sensor is
cable of seeing. Camera will see some UV, the entire visible range and
infrared from 715nm to 1200nm. |
| High-Red |
665nm: Camera will see from 665nm to 1200nm.
Red channel will see visible red and infrared. Blue and green channels
will only see infrared.
590nm: Camera will see from 590nm to 1200nm.
Red channel will see visible red and infrared. Green channel will see
come visible green and infrared. Blue channel will only see infrared.
| IR-Only |
715nm: All channels only see infrared.
The red channel is the most open to the IR and contains somewhat different
information than the blue and green channels allowing for some creative
color effects such as red-blue channel swapping to get deep blue skies.
A 715nm converted camera sees about the same amount of light as a stock
camera so apertures and shutter are similar to a stock camera. 715nm
is similar to a Hoya RM72 or Wratten 89B.
830nm: All channels only see infrared.
Camera loses about 2 stops of exposure. Once you equalize color
levels, picture will be almost completely black and white. The
infrared effect is more intense at 830nm - skies are darker, clouds whiter
and you see further through smoke and haze.
| UV Only:: Camera will only see UV light. We
recommend focusing using the Live View feature. A lens such as the Jenoptik
60mm APO lens works well with this conversion. |
| HR (High Resolution/ Hot Rod). An HR camera
has the Anti-Aliasing (Blur) filter removed and replaced with a thicker IR
Cut Filter to keep the same focal plane. A
Visible HR camera will maximize the resolution and color depth of the camera
at the expense of possible moire pattens. Please
see more about this conversion here. |

The Canon 7D has a nice feature called Live View with the
ability to switch the Auto Focus (AF) mode from the normal AF sensor in the base
of the camera to an AF mode using the image sensor itself - similar to the way a
camcorder or point and shoot camera works. This is particularly
interesting on these modified cameras because it means that you can put a UV or
IR filter that blocks visible light from the camera and still use the camera to
AF. You can also use the Live View feature to manually focus when
using filters that block visible light.
Please note that the anti-dust system is disabled on our
conversions. Live View will work correctly.
Modification will void your warranty.
We can modify your Canon 7D for UV+VIS+IR, High Red 590nm,
High Red 665nm, IR-Only 715nm, IR-Only 830 or HR for a $450 fee + return
shipping & handling ($20 for UPS ground insured within continental USA)..
We can modify your Canon 7D for UV-Only for an $800 fee +
S&H.

Functions |
mages
record directly to the CF card. With the WFT-E5A attached, image
recording to the CF card and to the USB external media connected to
the WFT-E5A will be possible as follows:
(1) Standard
| No automatic switching of recording media. |
(2) Automatic switching of recording media
| When the current recording media becomes full,
it switches to another recording media automatically and
continues recording. |
(3) Separate recording
| Each recording media can be set to record a
specific image-recording quality for each shot. |
(4) Recording of identical images
| Images can also be recorded at the same size to
both recording media. (RAW+JPEG, M RAW+JPEG or S RAW+JPEG is
possible). |
