FAQ
What is full spectrum?
Full spectrum refers to the range of wavelengths either side of and including visible light, from ultraviolet through to infrared.
Which is the best low light camera?
The right camera may depend on your budget and application – whether you are looking to film in the highest possible quality or perhaps just use the camera for observation.
The full spectrum camera is excellent in low light – better than any standard camera – but it will still produce noisy images at high ISOs and in very low light conditions. It does however record at a higher resolution and at a higher bit rate than the thermal camera, however this requires no light at all and the quality is independent of the amount of light in the scene.
In summary, the thermal camera is ‘better’ at seeing in low-light as it can film with no light, but the overall image quality may be better with the full spectrum camera.
How do I activate the camera's low-light mode?
For low-light applications, you don’t need to use any filters with a full spectrum camera. It is naturally sensitive to both infrared and visible light, allowing it to capture as many photons as possible for a brighter exposure. Simply use the camera as if it were a normal one, there is no low-light ‘mode’.
Thermal cameras require no light at all and work just as well in the day or night. Simply turn them on and you can see in the dark!
