INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
Eyepiece Shutter
When unmanned photography is performed with the FA in one
of its automatic exposure modes, stray light entering the
eyepiece will affect the meter reading. To prevent this, use the
eyepiece shutter Just push the lever up to close the shutter. As
a visual reminder that it is in use, the shutter blind is painted red.
To create other-worldly effects, in which vegetation comes out
light in tone and blue skies very dark, try shooting with black
and-white infrared film In black and white infrared photography,
you must use a red filter (R60) and refocus the lens to
compensate for the fact that infrared light rays focus at a point
slightly in front of visible Light For this purpose. most lenses
have an infrared focusing index (a red dot or line) beside the
distance index as a rule of thumb
Follow this procedure:
1) Without the red filter in place, look into the viewfinder and
focus on your subject.
2) Look at the lens and take note of the focused distance.
3) Reset the focusing ring so that the desired distance is
aligned with the infrared focusing index.
4) Attach the red filter and take the shot.
