From capturing the unseen to exploring the spectral wonders beyond visible light, the Heliopan 62mm IR RG 780 (87) Infrared Filter is an essential tool for photographers and videographers delving into the realm of infrared photography. This high-quality filter is specifically designed to fit lenses with a 62mm thread, serving as a gateway to a world invisible to the naked eye.

Crafted with precision, the Heliopan 62mm IR RG 780 (87) Filter meticulously blocks all visible light up to 780 nanometers, effectively isolating the infrared spectrum. This allows your camera's sensor or specialized infrared film to record images that showcase the unique thermal signatures of landscapes, architectural structures, and living organisms, revealing contrasts and details that are otherwise imperceptible.

The robust construction of the filter ensures that it can withstand the rigors of outdoor photography, while its near-opaque appearance is a testament to its effectiveness in filtering out unwanted light waves. The filter's high-quality glass is treated with a specialized coating to prevent internal ghosting and reflections, ensuring that your images are clear and free from artifacts.

Understanding the nuances of infrared photography is key when using the Heliopan 62mm IR RG 780 (87) Filter. The filter factor is variable, influenced by factors such as the ISO sensitivity of your camera and the ambient lighting conditions. Experimentation is encouraged to achieve the desired exposure, as the filter's impact can vary significantly from one setting to another.

For optimal results, it is advisable to manually adjust your camera settings, as the unique characteristics of infrared light can confuse the camera's auto-exposure and autofocus systems. By taking manual control of the exposure time and focusing, photographers can ensure that their infrared images are crisp, well-exposed, and truly representative of the unseen world.

Whether you're a professional photographer looking to add a new dimension to your portfolio or an enthusiast eager to experiment with the fascinating effects of infrared photography, the Heliopan 62mm IR RG 780 (87) Infrared Filter is a valuable addition to your photographic equipment.
