A full spectrum camera is just like a normal camera, but as the name suggests that it can see the entire light spectrum, including light in the infrared and ultraviolet frequencies that the human eye cannot see. There are clear benefits to having a camera that can see more than the naked eye while hunting on a ghost, not to mention the fact that the camera in combination with an infrared light works like a night vision camera.
Every Night Vision camera, including full spectrum cameras, uses an active source of lighting in the nearby infrared band (usually in the form of an external skylight that is mounted on the camera). This frequency is just outside the visible spectrum of the human eye, but it can be picked up by the camera’s sensor. It will produce an image that is completely light, despite the fact that the scene seems dark in front of the eyes.
In normal night vision cameras the images seem monochrome, either a greenish hue or black and white, this is because the camera visibly cannot see light when in the night vision mode is only sensitive to IR light, which has no color. However, a complete spectrum camera will still be visible light and colors in addition to the IR -lit images.
Instead of being green or gray, the night vision image produced by a complete spectrum camera is a pink-purple hue, this gives a unique look when using examinations. Although not often used for broadcast, the American ghost hunt ‘paranormal lockdown’ is mainly absorbed on a full spectrum camera.
Full spectrum cameras are not easy to get and are generally not commercially available. This is because paranormal researchers adjust their cameras to turn them into full spectrum cameras. This can be done on almost every camera, whether it is a compact stills camera, a digital SLR, a camcorder or a professional video camera. However, the adjustment is not easy, it means that the camera is taken apart and stripped to its sensor to remove the small glass filter that stops IR and UV light that touches the sensor.
One of the disadvantages of this adjustment is that once the filter is removed, the camera cannot be used as a normal camera. Although with some more expensive cameras, users enable users to fit an external filter over the lens, which the camera effectively reverses as a regular camera.
If you have a camera worth hundreds, or even thousands of pounds, you may not want to run the risk of taking it in pieces, but there are companies in the VK, the US, Australia and other parts of the world that will adjust a camera for you. Many of these companies also sell pre -modified new and used cameras.
The ability to photograph or take photos in complete darkness with the help of an invisible infrared lighting has clear his benefits when performing a paranormal examination, but many ghost hunters choose this kind of camera in the hope that it will give them a glimpse of the hidden world around them.
Because just about every type of camera or camcorder can be converted into full spectrum, this means that you can include your examination in full 1080p HD or even 4K. Some paranormal groups have even adjusted 3D and 360 degrees cameras for use in their research.
