Equipment Type: Compact
Equipment Brand: Sony
Equipment Model: DSC-F717 converted for Full Spectrum Infrared IR Photography
Price (S$): $300 or best offer
Description:
Selling the last of my IR-converted camera. The F-717 is the upgraded brother of the well-acclaimed F-707, with faster response, cleaner images, better glass coatings and functions and most importantly, could use the higher capacity memory sticks that the older F-707 could not.
The Sony DSC-F717 (5 MP) has a fast, bright and sharp Carl Zeiss F2.0-2.4 lens. The IR blocking filter had been replaced with a digital multi-coated clear glass (not plain glass!) to minimise the chances of sensor reflection and hot spots from occuring. This model used to be very popular with IR shooters because it supports native IR shooting via the Nightshot mode but you are limited to a fixed aperture of F2.0 and shutter speed of 1/60s or slower. But with this IR Mod, Full Manual, Aperture and Shutter priority modes could be accessed and used without restrictions as per normal. This camera can produce rich contrasty colours depending on the filter and Post-Processing sequence you use. Unlike other IR-Modded cameras where the IR-Block filter is replaced by a fixed IR-pass filter, you are free to use whichever IR filter you like on this full-spectrum modded F-707, allowing you plenty of flexibility to use various kinds of IR filters to achieve different effects. As this is a camera with an EVF and LCD (so is "liveview"), you can see what you are shooting before you press the shutter button.
Camera is in good condition but there are some minor paint wear on the body, especially on the mode dial. No fungus on glass but there is a very fine scratch on the coating of the front glass which is too small to affect images. The built-in flash had been disabled because when it is activated, the flash white balance would override the custom white balance resulting in an unuseable picture. Camera would accept various types of memory sticks. For list of compatible memory sticks, pls refer to: this link
Comes with front cap, charger, 1x USB data cable, 1x original NP-FM30 battery (~ an hour usage) and 1x 3rd party NP-FM50 battery (~ 2 hours plus usage), camera strap and 1x 16Mb memory stick (for testing purposes only, you could buy bigger sticks very cheaply nowadays).
*There is no IR filter included but I could lend you a R72 to test* Pick-up and test at Admiralty MRT. Will give 1 week personal warranty.

For sample pictures, you could refer to my old thread for the F-707. They give similar pictures.
