Please Note that you can't see through the IR Lens , cause all the existing light is blocked out and only IR is let through , and humans can't see IR without special glasses...
So you need to carefully set the setting on the camera manually

Infra filter sounds interesting. No need to modify the camera. Just attached the filter and start shooting. hehe

If buy d armor , sure can throw at you edi , with the tough silicon + hard lens case , sure go into coma for a week or two..

A few pixels out of 16 million pixels, not too bad la .

it's more than the star in the sky when i try it at ISO 3200 and 1/5...red & blue dots...

i've no idea how bad is it to be considered as a problem...

3200 ISO, are you sure that isn't noise?

I was just gonna say the same thing...

Bro, hot pixel is no good. Is it LCD dead pixel or the photo itself? After u transfer to PC, is the hot pixel still there? If still there, then, u need to sent for remapping services. If LCD stuck/dead pixel, then, the only way is to change the LCD or just ignore it.

Btw, how long u have bought it? If just recently, go back to the shop and request a new set.

how to mod the body to IR cam? i have an old d40... its been in the box since i got my d90...

Well i dunno much people who do mod their body just for IR
Mostly they just buy IR filters for their lenses , that and would minimize the damage they would go through opening the camera body just taking IR Photography

Vid for Canon...
Couldn't find for Nikon
Sorry Bro~

^thanks for the info..

the IR photos looks just like Night Vision..

Kinda like that a bit , but uses the same concept of photography...
Happy Trip Bro~

i hope it is..
but again...the dots are not spread all over the pic....just a few area with a single dot

post a pic sample and exif... its the best way to evaluate..

BTW , Bro~
If your having problems finding IR Filters on LYN
you can go to Ebay and search 'Infrared filter'
There all sizes of IR Filters that can fit to all lens in your inventory

Bro. When do you think one should upgrade their kit lense?
I bought my DSLR like 1 month ago, and I am thinking to upgrade my kit lens 18-55mm to 50mm f\1.4G?
a lot of people say it's too soon. as I only know DSLR for 1 month, I myself find it kind of true as I saw people carrying their kit lens for 10 months even more.

So I am wondering when is the appropriate time for upgrade the kit lense??
is it when you know aperture, iso and shutter speed?
or anything else??

Whats your budget range?

Actually from my perspective , it depends on the user when it's time to change lens...
I usually use the same lens for a while then grow a bit bored of it , and with thousands of pictures taken with it...
When you know those stuff , it actually improves your photography and the picture will come up more details and wonderful

It also depends on your budget~
Some people just buy with the kit lens and its sufficient with it...

u need to know the combination of it, catch the corrrect angle of ur photo...thats what i learnt after holding a dslr for a week...


sifu please add up more tips =)

if you have the moolah , you can upgrade anytime, if didnt know what is aperture , iso , also can use auto 1 mah

i m still with my 18-55 , going to reach 1 year soon . on 24dec

You can visit here... http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/311850
It's more openly toward all brands and types of photography
Or you can browse through the pages which other photographers wrote on this topic not too long ago~

When this questions pop up in your mind, means u r not prepared!! u haven even master ur 18-55mm den wanna spend money again? At least u get some decent photos out of your kit lens den u start to look for other lens, i.e 50mm prime lens, zoom ur kit lens to 50mm and walk around whole day to shoot at this focal length, see how u feel, den u start to think whether primes r suitable for u or not
