▪Background of launch

Infrared cameras are used for discoveries of historical value and various surveys and inspections. On the other hand, infrared cameras are expensive and require a large amount of equipment, which hinders research and surveys. In order to solve these problems, we have developed an infrared camera that makes the most of the features of OM SYSTEM’s mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras with high image quality, a user’s guide that explains the workflow in an easy-to-understand manner, and a magnetic detachable filter kit that makes it easy to replace filters. We have developed a set of high cost performance camera system “IR system”.

OM Digital Solutions will contribute to solving problems in the field of culture and education through camera systems specialized for surveys and research.

2. A compact and lightweight system that can easily achieve high-definition infrared photography

Equipped with a high resolution shot function that can shoot up to 80 million pixels. High-definition infrared images can be easily obtained because image processing is performed in the camera. Furthermore, since the high-res shot function is already registered in the camera’s custom mode, even photographers who are unfamiliar with camera operations can set it without hesitation.

3.By attaching the included filter kit, you can easily compare infrared photography and normal photography.

In addition to the IR filter used for infrared photography, it comes with a UV/IR cut filter that enables visible light photography. By adopting a removable magnetic filter, the filter can be easily replaced while the camera is still set, greatly improving the work efficiency of comparison photography.
