In this film I will show how I make my Infrared conversion, in my old Nikon D300.
NOTE: Both the hot mirror/dust off filter and the low-pass filter has to be completely removed when conversing to IR use.
(but keep the part's in a safe place if you want the camera back into normal use).
I use a old used Hoya R72 Infrared filter (720nm), that I cut with a glass cutter so it fit perfect just above the sensor, but sitting on the rubber frame so the filter will NOT touch sensor and that's why the filter has be bigger than the actual sensor area.
Then I make some small adjustment to the plastic frame, so the filter will go trough the frame, then I add a few drop's of contact glue on the edge of the filter and frame so the filter will stay in place.
The filter has this measurement: 29,80mm long and 22,65mm high.

Hello mikeno, thank you for your perfect help with the video. Now my D 300 is perfect for IR-Photography and the first results are really good. Well done!

Hi .. You videos are really great way to learn about fixing camera gears. I fixed my Hasselblad H2 shutter curtain just by watching u. I am no facing mirror sticking issue with my d700 can u give a solution for that? Thanks a lot for making this great videos ..

Thank's Emran, I happy that my film could help you to get your Hasselblad H2 back to life again. About your Nikon D700 there could be many issues, broken part's or the mechanism to move the mirror is stuck or broken. But you can get a repair manual for your camera on this website: arcticwolfs.net/ scroll down and you will find it

mikeno62 hi thanks for u suggestion. I might need a bit more. Caz I am not much familiar with hardware works. The problem I found when I press shutter button it takes the photo and mirror keeps up and by pressing depth of field (DOP) button it comes down.
@mikeno62
@mikeno62 6 лет назад
Just an idea, have you checked the dial on the top left side of the camera, if the "Mup" is set, the camera will when pressing the shutter button, flip up the mirror and when the next press on the shutter button, the camera will take the picture. If you want the camera to work just like normal (press the button, take a picture), then the dial should set at "S" (single shot)

It's a pain to get inside a D300, these stupid rubber parts/damaged sticky tape and various screws hidden everywhere. No fun at all.

That's true Dorf, but there is even more hidden screws in many Fuji X cameras :-o

When taking out the screws from the camera I always have like four A4 paper sheets with a sketch of the camera and where each screw goes. It is easier when you need to put them back

A small tip for you when you cut the glass. The ball end of the cutter is for tapping the back side of your glass scoring. A couple gentle taps will produce micro fractures down your score line letting you snap your glass off easier.

Hello, thanks for this video! I will probably do this with mine. I have a sort of related question: Is it possible to put a full frame sensor on the d300? Or do I just buy a new camera?

Hi! I already had converted an old Fuji S3Pro to IR (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_c9ocDCTFo0.html), but now that camera doesn´t work anymore so I am converting my old D300 and i have a question. It is really necesary to completly remove the dust reduction filter? Thanks.
@mikeno62
@mikeno62 2 года назад
Sad to hear about your old Fuji S3 Pro :-). About the D300, I removed the dust reduction filter because the IR filter I use in this case was very thick, I will guess you can get the IR filter thinner but I'm not sure where.
@AOtarolaR
@AOtarolaR 2 года назад
​@@mikeno62 curious thing... with the FujiS3Pro you have to compensate the EV +3 so, you can work whit, let´s say, normal shutter speeds and F stops, but with the Nikon D300 you need waaaay more light to get a good exposure with the same IR filter (760nm). I had to use "spacers" on the sensor array so the focus was kind of "misaligned"... Anyway, the filter get broken so I need to buy another one, but this time I will buy a 720nm filter (I asume is thinner than the 760nm)

Hi, great video, it's very helpful ! Can you write the references of the screwdriver you use during the whole video ? Thanks :)
@mikeno62
@mikeno62 5 лет назад
Thank's Klapeful, The screw driver I use in this video is a modified "WERA" PH00 that I have filed the very pointy tip so it fit's perfect in the screw head, so it will work almost as a JIS00. But of course you should use a real JIS00, that you can get here at www.ifixit.com. eustore.ifixit.com/en/Tools/Drivers-Wrenches/JIS-Driver-Set.html?Fixit&Referral& Cheers Kenneth

After all this labor, you can only take infrared pics now. why don't you replace the IR-cut filter with a BCF? that way you can not only do astrophotography, but also do infrared photography with your R72 filter, as well as regular photography with an IR lens filter.

I find it always fascinating watching what you get up to. Would this type of conversion be a full-spectrum, or does that involve a different type of filter? Thank you, you've encouraged me to pull some old AI Nikkor lenses apart with imperfections with mould etc, and actually get them back together again.. Regards from Salisbury East in South Australia, Paul.

Dubito che 2,33mm sia il giusto spessore da usare sulla D300 dato che è ricavato da un filtro circolare standard Hoya IR72. Inoltre non parla di messa a fuoco. Bah!

Hello Mikeno , I'm an electronics engineer with all the anti static equipment , anti static mat & wrist strap , I carefully disconnected the serial connectors that feed the rear screen & rear controls to the D 300 , I was very careful with the serial connectors , despite all the careful precautions , after reassembly the rear screen was blank ,just black as in it looked like the camera was off no information at all , i was wondering if you could advise as to what went wrong ?.

Enjoyed the video. I've wanted to do the same on an old DSLR. I noticed you didn't solder the metal cover back onto the board. Do you have problems with grounding or shorting with movement and handling? Curious why its not necessary to solder that part.
@mikeno62
@mikeno62 5 лет назад
Well, I found out later when I assemble the camera that I simply forgot it, but since there are 6 screws that actually hold the metal cover in place it's not realy important for the camera to work correct.

Hey, thanks for sharing! It helped me a lot. I only had a lot trouble to unscrew the 3 screws to get into the sensor. What product did you use to soften the screws? And what wrench size did you use?

I'm taking infrared pictures with an infrared filter attached to the front of the lens on my digital with adjusted stop and shutter speed. No need going disassembling camera.
@Gotdurt
@Gotdurt 6 лет назад
This method allows normal shutter speeds for hand-holding as if there was no filter, as well as the ability to do a preset WB in-camera. There are other advantages as well, like being able to use lenses with large front elements and no filter threads, etc.

Very good explanations, Mike, thank you a lot. I have a small question about the "new" filter: how could you find that dimmensions (29,80x22,65)? It was before disansembled the camera, or you measured only after you had taken out the hot mirror filter? Thank you in advance :)
@mikeno62
@mikeno62 5 лет назад
Well, I first disassemble my camera and take out all the filtres and then measure what size the IR filter should have, then cut it into the correct size filter I use a glass cutter. I then assemble my camera again, just to get ready to actually make the video and put in the IR filter.

@DanieleAncora86
@DanieleAncora86 3 года назад
both glasses he removed are cutting out IR. So if you leave the cleaning glass you still are cutting out a great portion of IR signal. I have experienced this myself and had to disassemble the camera twice!

@mikeno62
@mikeno62 4 года назад
Yes, when working with microelectronic just like in DSLR cameras and new lenses, it's really a good thing have the antistatic band on your wrist and it should be electrically grounded (⏚), it will protect the fine electronic components from being damaged.
