Our IR-Only cameras include an adjustment to the Auto Focus so
that the camera focuses in the infrared region.
The Canon 5D MK III has a full-frame sensor that allows the
photoreceptors to gather more photons than the smaller sensors in other cameras.
Because of this, the 5D MK II has exceptional infrared and ultraviolet
performance. If you need to gather has much light as possible, we
recommend the 5DMK II.
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 5D MK III for a $450 fee + return
shipping & handling ($20 for UPS ground insured within continental USA).

Recording
Functions
1. Standard
* Records to either the CF card or SD card.
2. Auto switch card
* When the current card becomes full, the camera switches to the other card
automatically.
3. Record separately
* The CF card and SD card record the same image at a different image recording
quality (L, M, S1, S2, S3, RAW, M-RAW, S-RAW)
4. Record to multiple
* Both the CF card and SD card record the same image at the same image recording
quality. (Also applies to RAW+JPEG, M+JPEG, and SRAW+JPEG)
Backup
Recording
Images recorded in a card can be copied to the other card
File
Numbering
The following three types of file numbers can be set:
(1) Continuous numbering
* The continuous numbering of captured images will continue even after you
replace the camera's card. (The numbering continues even when the folder
changes.)
(2) Auto reset
* When you replace the camera's card, the numbering will be reset to start from
0001. If the new card already contains images, the numbering will continue from
the last recorded image in the card.
(3) Manual reset
* Resets the file number to 0001, and creates a new folder automatically.
RAW
+ JPEG Simultaneous Recording
The image-recording quality can be selected in any combination of the three RAW
and eight JPEG recording quality settings.
