The Heliopan 37mm RG 1000 Infrared Filter is designed to help capture images of how a subject reflects or transmits infrared light.

Infrared light waves occupy the space in the electromagnetic spectrum behind visible light due to their longer wavelengths. Many surfaces and materials react to, or emit infrared light waves differently than visible light waves, which provide the potential for photographs of subjects or subject properties that are otherwise invisible to the human eye. Such images require an infrared-sensitive medium such as infrared film or a digital photographic sensor which may be more effective when used without the infrared-blocking filters that are frequently built over them.

Conventional light sources such as the sun, photographic strobes, or incandescent lighting may be used to provide infrared illumination. However, because infrared films or digital photographic sensors can be more sensitive to the relatively higher energy and shorter-wavelength visible light those sources also emit, the effects of infrared light can be otherwise obscured. The Heliopan 37mm RG 1000 Infrared Filter makes it possible to capture images of how subjects are illuminated by infrared light by blocking near-infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light waves while allowing 70% of infrared light waves 1000nm or greater into the lens it is mounted onto.

Because of the degree to which the Heliopan 37mm RG 1000 Infrared Filter blocks the electromagnetic spectrum up to infrared light waves 1000nm or greater, proper exposure is determined by the infrared sensitivity level of the film or imaging sensor behind it. The particular intensity of infrared-emitting light sources, as well as the relative location of the camera and lens on which this filter is used, can also influence exposure.

This filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and features a thin brass filter ring to minimize the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and jamming prevention.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this{ML-L3} work on a Nikon D810?

A: It is not compatible with the D810. The D810 does not have an infrared sensor.

Q: 2. Will the remote work with a D3400 and does it need internet for the bluetooth to work remotely? Or should I buy a cable?

A: Yes, this will work right out of the box. No internet or cabeling required. It's a wise investment!

Q: 3. How well does this work in bright sunlight? I would be concerned IR doesn't do well in that case. Also it can not be directly in front or behind, it will be from arms length away from one side. (Camera helmet mounted)thanks,mk

A: Infrared remotes may be affected by bright, direct sunlight depending on the angle the remote is being pointed in relation to the camera. Your best bet is to go with a remote with radio connectivity, such as the Vello FreeWave Fusion: http://bhpho.to/1g8dSNu

Q: 4. what is the warranty on this item?

A: The ML-L3 comes with a one-year USA warranty from Nikon which would cover manufacturers defects.

Q: 5. We have two Nikon cameras...the D3200 and the D7500. Can this remote be used from behind these cameras? Or does it need to be pointed directly in front of each of these cameras?

A: The Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control (Infrared) needs to be pointed directly in front of the cameras as both the Nikon D3200 as well as the Nikon D7500 have infrared receiver in the front section of the camera.

Q: 6. Is the ML-L3 compatible with the D800?

A: No it is not compatible with the D800.

Q: 7. Is this comparable with the Nikon Df?

A: This remote came as part of the package with the Nikon flash. I have had no problems using it with my Nikon D750.

Q: 8. Is it compatible with nikon d60?

A: Yes it is!

Q: 9. Is there any way to attach a lanyard?

A: Unfortunately the Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote has no place for attaching a lanyard.

Q: 10. will this work with a nikon d3100? Its not listed in the overview, but its a newer camera so is it possible the description is just out of date and it will work with the 3100?

A: No this will not work because the d3100 does not have an IR receiver. The MC-DC2 wired remote will work.
