I am guessing it was the last camera not to allow it in body, given that seems to have been the cutoff point for EOS Digital Info. Obviously it does not matter with the final images as all the export data in software. I would just like the raw files to have it right as they stay untouched. I...

For me full spectrum means having access to the full spectrum of the sensor too, not all wavelengths of light. It is as opposed to being limited to a specific part of the sensor's range and specific sensitivities. Whether that is visible light, as with the OEM filters, or converted to replace...

Because I changed my name so need to update the author/copyright metadata, but the 30D predates being able to do that on the body. So the only official way of changing it is with EOS Utility. Admittedly it is not my main body so no longer gets used much, but I am not a pro and only have so...

That is surely the point of a full spectrum conversion over simply having the camera converted to a particular wavelength? You always have to use a filter, but get to choose what sort of light to shoot. While it was infrared I wanted to play with, having previously not enjoyed the long...

Because I bought it from a dealer rather then whoever converted it I have no idea how it was originally done. But the contacts at the edge of the sensor look like they are uncovered, which is what made me think both filters were removed without replacement. Obviously the sensor still has its...

I bought a second-hand full spectrum converted camera, yay! However it has some noticeable dust, boo. And I think both filters have been removed from the sensor, rather than just the UV/IR one or anything else put in place. Am I correct about this? And if so is it still safe to use a...

Well that was an adventure, but sadly a fruitless one. I found the site and it is only for Windows But I have Wine installed on my Mac for running Windows software So I downloaded it But the zip file only contained some PAS source code files So I checked the forum section and in response to a...

Hello, I have a couple of issues with my seldom used old Canon EOS 30D. The first is that it seems the plastic cover for the USB port etc. does not last fifteen years! I tried to open it and it split in two, then broke away from the camera completely. So does anyone know if and where I can...

It is not choice, though. You cannot choose whether music is distracting or helps concentration any more than someone can chose how their brain works. It is down to personality, and therefore ultimately neurology. Which is why I strongly disagree with nod claiming that "diverting attention...

What inattention? Besides, if the sound of your bike is so engrossing, then why does that not distract you if you cannot keep focus whilst listening to something?

I could not disagree more. It may be distracting to you, but that does not mean it is distracting to everyone. When I was learning to ride a geared bike on London roads with only a C.B.T. on a scooter for experience* there was a lot I was trying to keep track of in my head. Probably true for...

I have not found pinlocks to be as perfect as many claim, but they definitely make a difference. I can never get a perfect seal so end up with a small condensation patch near my nose. But my biggest problem is they do not make them to fit glasses! However for the opposite problem, I am a huge...

Several years ago my set of lock keys fell out of my pocket somewhere in Somerset, and by the time I realized I was too far away to do anything about it. As I could not find anywhere that did replacement Givi keys (I have since), and did not fancy using my top box without a spare at home, I had...

I use heat shrink crimp connectors, so it both seals off the inside and also gives a bit of extra strength. For thin cable you have to use solder butt splices rather than crimp ones, but the solder never seems to melt and I always reach a point that I have to stop out of fear the shrink will...

Unfortunately I only needed two yellow ring terminals, which were £2.25 delivered for a pack of 10. So even £3.95 for delivery is more than double, and would still have faced the same delivery problem. I had some 12 AWG fuse holders and was able to crimp a blue ring terminal on those. So I...
