With this conversion service we will replace the internal hot mirror filter with a high quality custom made full spectrum glass filter. This will allow your camera to capture UV, IR and visible light all at once. For best results you will need to use our external filters in front of the lens to selectively choose one of the 3 light spectrums.

Note: The Sony A7C, A7C II, A7CR, A7S II, A7R II, A7R III and A9 use an IR LED as part of their electronic shutter monitor. Once these models are converted to IR, the internal IR LED will contaminate all images shot at exposures greater than 1 second.

Note: The Sony A7 IV, A7R IV, and A7R V use an IR LED as part of the electronic shutter monitor. Once these models are converted to IR, Full Spectrum, or H-alpha, the internal IR LED will possibly contaminate all images shot at exposures greater than 1 second.  However, it only fails on electronic shutter.  For mechanical shutter or for e-first curtain, they do not have a problem! Tested at 6,400ISO for 30 seconds with the Long Exposure NR setting turned on. 

 

Includes: 

  • 1 year warranty on the conversion service and installed full spectrum filter.
  • Toll free phone and email support for life.

White Balance Tips

When setting a custom white balance with a full spectrum modified Sony camera you may see a white balance error message. The purpose of this message is to inform you that the colors are out of the normal range expected by the camera. Of course they are, as it’s been converted! The camera still sets the white balance even though it doesn’t like the colors it’s seeing, so just ignore the message.

Also, you may notice that when you set a custom white balance the camera gives you a Kelvin temperature number as well. This number is completely inaccurate so don’t try to take a shortcut by just setting the WB to this Kelvin number – the results will be completely different from a real custom white balance setting.

    Tried using my Nikon D7100, unconverted, for infrared. Interesting, but the image quality left much to be desired. After reading the literature on Life Pixel’s web site, decided to go Full Spectrum for my Sony a6300. Became a big fan of IR until the camera died. Full Spectrum is for the following customers: a) Want to shoot at different wave lengths (e.g. 720nm & 830nm IR, visible light, ultraviolet) w. the same camera. b) Have lenses that are visible light & IR friendly (worst part of the experience: Sony 10-18, Zeiss Loxia 25mm, Zeiss Loxia 85mm, and Voigtland 110mm macro were bad news. But discovered that the Tamron 70-180 & 28-200 were great). Best scenario for Full Spectrum, is you start shooting in the morning w. lots of clouds; great lighting. Clouds dissipate, and it’s cloudless … ideal for IR shooting. You start w. a hot mirror filter, and replace it with a 720nm filter when it becomes sunny. Your lenses must of the type that accept screw-in filters, because you won’t be able to shoot wo. a filter on; forget the 2 Sony 12-24 lenses. After all of this, when the converted a6300 died, have elected for a new a7 iii with a 830nm conversion; a new unconverted a6400 will inherit the bad IR lenses. Life Pixel’s service is excellent, and they have been very responsive to my questions. (Heck, I ordered a 2nd conversion from them.)

    I had my Sony A6000 converted to full spectrum at the end of May and I am very happy with. It has nice image quality, and the ability to use different infrared, UV or hot mirror external filters not the lenses gives me flexible when shooting. The service was fast and the workmanship of good quality. The camera works great and I have spent the last two weeks testing out the various infrared filters. I truly love using the Super Blue that I purchased with the conversion. Great Job Lifepixel!

    After several phone conversations with Daniel, I decided to convert my Sony a6300 to full spectrum, thus providing me with the flexibility to experiment with several infrared wavelengths (590, 720, 830). I also purchased the Full Spectrum Clear filter which “returns” the a6300 to an unmodified camera for those times I just want to take a photograph. I am REALLY pleased with the results. After taking advantage of LifePixels free, half-hour, “live” Internet training session, I signed up for a three-day workshop with Dan Wampler to learn how to get it right from the start. Two days of shooting and one day of intense Ps processing with Dan not only improved my image acquisition but also provided me with the confidence (I’m a Lr user and new to Ps) to process those files into stunning images. With LifePixel it doesn’t stop with the camera conversion – it carries on to help you become comfortable and proficient taking, processing and printing IR images. Can’t wait for the Nikon mirrorless to come out next year – it’s going straight to LifePixel!

    I have been missing infrared shooting ever since I stopped using film cameras. I sent a new Sony a6300 to LifePixel and now I am in love with infrared all over again! This camera is perfect for shooting IR, with the live viewfinder and easy white balance settings, plus the focus is automatic on the IR wavelength so no guessing!
