ramon 0 #1 July 2, 2001 We have 4th of July night jumps and I have a PC-5 (I know small aperture..but anyway).Should I try a low light setting? or no light (bad focus), or just try to light up the subject?Ideas?bloo skiesramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #2 July 2, 2001 I've seen good results, from other camera flyers, with the "Night Shot" IR feature of some Sony cameras.I can't wait to try it out myself.Paulfuturecam.com/skydive.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #3 July 3, 2001 I have used the "Night Shot" capabiity on my TRV-9. It works well, but you have to be up close. Nothing spectacular (clarity) but it's still pretty cool to see yourself skydiving at night. Great for your personal video scrapbook.Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PalmettoTiger 1 #4 July 3, 2001 Idle question - would putting a mirror in the camera's field of view reflect IR light as well as it reflects visible spectrum light? Blues, Squares,PTiger*insert sub-100 character sig here* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramon 0 #5 July 4, 2001 {useful respones} a mirror purchased at a store where normal people (non laser scientists) shop will reflect IR if it reflects visible light.{ramon's assinine respone} Depends on the type of mirror...you know some materials reflect certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum while allowing others to pass through.It.s cloudy and I think the night jumps will be cancelled.bloo skiesramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
