▪Details of Main Features

1. A compact, lightweight, approximately 20-megapixel*1 infrared camera system capable of shooting in the infrared range of approximately 800nm to 1100nm

This model is a camera with sensitivity ranging from visible light to infrared light. By attaching the included IR transmission filter (IR filter), infrared photography becomes possible. Furthermore, by attaching the equally included visible light transmission filter (UV/IR cut filter), visible light photography is possible, similar to a general camera. The filters adopt a magnetic detachable system, allowing for smooth switching between infrared and visible light photography. By illuminating the subject with infrared light, features of the subject that could not be confirmed with the naked eye can be captured and recorded as photographs with the same operational feel as a normal digital camera. In addition, since it can record with high image quality of approximately 20 million pixels, it is possible to precisely capture even the finest details of the subject.

Its applications are wide-ranging, including educational and industrial fields, making it an ideal camera for survey, research, and inspection purposes.

2. Ultra-high resolution shooting equivalent to a maximum of approximately 80 million pixels using digital technology, and focus stacking function to bring every corner of a three-dimensional object into focus

The infrared camera "IR System OM-1 Mark II_IR" possesses high-performance functions utilizing digital technology, which are convenient for surveys, research, and inspections. One is the focus stacking function, which composites multiple photos taken with shifted focus positions into a single image. The other is the High Res Shot function, which generates ultra-high resolution images equivalent to a maximum of approximately 80 million pixels from multiple captured images. These functions are pre-registered in the camera's custom modes (C1-C4) and can be easily set. (C1: Color shooting with focus stacking, C2: Color shooting with High Res Shot, C3: IR shooting with focus stacking, C4: IR shooting with High Res Shot)

3. Tethered shooting that allows control of shooting from a PC

It also supports tethered shooting, where the camera and lighting are set up for the subject, and shooting can be controlled while checking the image on a PC monitor. In addition to setting the camera's shooting conditions, captured images can be transferred immediately. By using the free tethered shooting software "OM Capture" and image editing software "OM Workspace," the workflow from shooting to image confirmation and editing can be performed smoothly, improving the efficiency of survey and research workflows.
