Description

  • You are looking at a Manufacturer Refurbished Canon SX400 digital camera that has been professionally converted to a dedicated Infrared camera by Kolari Vision.

    The Hot Mirror, which blocks Infrared light, has been removed, and was replaced with a 720nm Infrared pass filter, which only lets Infrared pass. This means there is no need to hassle with a tripod and a long exposure time. Hand held infrared pictures can be taken without the need for a tripod or bright sunlight! The autofocus has also been calibrated and the camera will expose properly as well.

    Camera is also available with a full spectrum filter or other infrared filter, like 590nm, 665nm, and 850nm.

    The SX400 is a great little camera and offers true custom white balance. With powerful white balance, vivid color infrared pictures are able to be captured with ease.

    Sample pictures were all taken by this camera, the only edits performed were channel swapping and levels adjustment.

    With a large 3 inch Live view LCD composing images directly in IR is very easy! The lens on this camera is also very good, especially for infrared! The lens is a very wide 24mm focal distance for great wide angle shots and comes with optical image stabilization to assist in handheld shots. The lens is also crisp in IR with good sharpness at the edges and no observed hotspot. With a 30x zoom the lens gives you a powerful zoom making composition easy.

    Great for video as well, the camera supports full high definition video at 720P.

    Perfect for a first time IR camera or small IR camera to bring along with your regular gear.

    The camera focuses great, even on close shots. Even though it is a point and shoot, this little camera takes amazing IR pictures. With a little postwork performed, the camera can be used for great false color. Black and white IR photos can also be achieved directly in camera.

    This is the best budget Canon point and shoot we have found.

    Camera also comes with a tutorial CD for some basic and intermediate IR false color techniques as well as a photoshop action suite to automate adding false colors.

    The camera is listed as refurbished, it has been taken out of the box for the conversion process, but is still in mint, like-new condition.

    For US shipping, we use USPS Priority mail. Cameras are made to order, allow up to a week for order shipment

Processing Time

Our standard turnaround time for camera conversions is 2 weeks on average for most models. This is only an estimate and not a guarantee. Our standard turnaround time may occasionally exceed 2 weeks during our busy season (April-August) or take less than 2 weeks in our off-season (September-March).

We also offer 5-day and 1-2 day rush processing options on our camera conversions for an additional fee. Our rush services allow us to coordinate the logistics of your conversion ahead of time to meet your deadlines to the best of our ability. Our rush processing time does not include shipping times.

We do our best to accommodate each and every one of our customers year-round.

If ordering one of our pre-converted cameras, keep in mind that they are made to order and are not eligible for rush processing. Please allow at least 2 weeks before your camera ships out to you. Plan for trips and assignments accordingly!

Any time frames that we provide, including shipping time, turnaround time, and rush processing times, are only estimates and are subject to availability. We make no guarantees on service time or shipping times.

AR Coating

What is the AR coating and what does it do? The AR coating option adds an IR centered anti-reflective coating onto the IR filter we install when we perform an infrared conversion. It reduces hotspot artifacts that some lenses are prone to, and can reduce other stray reflections. On our full spectrum conversions we apply a broadband AR coating that covers the UV, visible, and IR ranges. The coating does not reduce optical performance in any way and is highly recommended.

Background:

Uncoated glass has a reflection of around 4-5% at all wavelengths, and we found that this reflection off the sensor filter was bouncing off the glass and reflecting back from the lens housing and aperture blades to cause IR hotspots.  We developed this anti-reflective coating that is centered around the IR wavelengths that cause hotspots, and reduced the 5% reflection down to <0.5%

Reflectance Curve

Conversion AR Coating

When applied to our internal conversion filters, we find that hotspots are significantly reduced during infrared photography. Below is a sample from a Nikon 50mm 1.8 which has a strong hotspot at small apertures. Independent tests also available from Mark Hilliard here and Edd Noble here.
