| | Canon Rebel 500D (Rebel T1i) 15.1 MegaPixel Infrared-Enabled Camera
Model: XNiteCanon500DB - IR+Visible+UV
Model: XNiteCanon500DDIRB - IR-Only
The Canon 500D / T1i is a semi-professional digital SLR camera. Because of the nature of the IR enabling
modification, we do not recommend this camera to anyone who does not fully
understand the implications of the modification.
We can modify this camera to be IR+Visible or IR-Only. An
IR+Visible camera will see both Infrared and Visible light after
modification. An IR-Only camera will only see IR from 715nm through
1200nm. The IR-Only camera has an internal 715nm IR filter with an
antiflection coating. The 715nm filter performs similarly to the Hoya RM72
and Wratten 89B.

The Canon 500D or T1i has a nice feature called Live
View with the ability to switch the Auto Focus (AF) mode from the normal AF
sensor in the base of the camera to an AF mode using the image sensor itself -
similar to the way a camcorder or point and shoot camera works. This is
particularly interesting on these modified cameras because it means that you can
put a UV or IR filter that blocks visible light from the camera and still use
the camera to AF. You can also use the Live View feature to manually
focus when using filters that block visible light.
Please note that the anti-dust system is disabled on our
conversions. Live View will work correctly.
Modification will void your warranty.
We can modify your Canon 500D for a $450 fee + return shipping & handling ($20
for UPS ground insured within continental USA).
