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.
