Visico Infrared filter 58mm 950nm

The Visico Infrared filter 58mm 950nm removes glare and unwanted light, enhancing color saturation, giving greater clarity and contrast whilst not varying colour balance. This filter is completely appropriate for a P-type adapter (sold separately).

To use this infra red filter you must have a D-SLR camera that has a lens which can make use of and work with this size of filter. Wavelengths used for photography range from approximately 760 nm to about 1000 nm.

Filters are normally sensitive to visible light, so an infrared-passing filter is implemented, this lets infrared light (IR) pass through to the camera, the filter disables all or the majority of the visible light spectrum, the filter therefore appears black or deep red in colour.

With this Infrared filter in place 99% of the light observed by the naked eye is impeded and only infrared light is filtered through.

The following will give you an idea of which filters are best for which light:-

• 1000nm is suited for low latitudes and strong light use.
• 950nm is suited for outdoor and strong light use.
• 850nm is suited for indoor and weak light use.
• 760nm is suited at dawn or under faint light.
