Fuji HS35EXR IR
Aug 24, 2013 16:46:35 #
Want to have some fun, the HS35EXR is IR sensitive. Probably the HS50EXR is also equally as sensitive. Get yourself a Hoya R72 IR filter (58mm), not really cheap, but it wont break the bank either.
You will need to shoot in base ISO, not auto, and no DR over 100% either. There is a slight tenancy toward a hot-spot but not bad, once converted it is hardly noticeable. Good news is the HS35 is sensitive enough that you can hand-hold the camera. And fast enough for average shooting.
My settings on these test shots was ISO 100, DR 100, F4, Aperture Preferred, EV -1 Stop. You need a lot of exposure comp for IR, that goes for any camera. You could raise the ISO to 200, and get a little more speed, but you might increase the tenancy to developed a hot-spot?, I did not try it.
I edited for highlights slightly, which says that a little more than -1EV could possibly be used, but I would rather edit slightly. As the more exposure comp, the slower the shutter soeed.
Anyway here is the pudding (proof).

Great shots! And for just the price of a filter. What do you mean by DR - shutter speed?

Otis got it, Fuji's EXR cameras have supposedly a DR (Dynamic Range) function to control blown highlights. Going Above 100%, would possibly increase the tendency to develop the hot-spot I mentioned.
I also would not recommend using "auto iso", as is the general practice when using the DR function. Just run the EXR cameras like normal cameras, in basic functions.
The DR on these cameras helps somewhat, but I don't think its everything Fuji cracks it up to be. :)
Previous post: "soeed" should read "Speed" whoops.
