This Micro Four Thirds Camera has a Dirty Secret... Olympus PEN E-P1 

I have this exact camera! A few years ago I could find barely any videos about it, and it seems to have blown up in a the last year. Great to see.

Hi Chris, I am doing something similar with an E-PM2. I took a different approach regarding filters, as I have created and 3D printed an adaptor to put 1.25" filters between the lens and sensor. This way I can use the camera for normal photos (with a custom daylight WB) for astro photos (with the same custom WB) and for IR photos (usually with a custom WB on something green). With the E-PM2 there were 2 custom WB places to use, so it was enough. For astro I do not think you get something using it without a filter, as the normal lenses we use are not meant to focus UV, visible light and IR on the same plane.

I have an e-pl1 with a 25mm manual lens I use for a walk around camera. Not converted, but takes great pictures.

Using the external viewfinder on the pen series changes it completely. If you can find one get it. And you don't look like a dork trying to use the rear viewfinder in bright sunlight with the camera held at arms length in front of you. With a view finder it can become a fav camera quickly.

Fun… I have a Pen-F that I had converted to Full Spectrum. It is a good way for alternative photography. Infrared and UV fluorescence photography can be fun and challenging.

Love your work! I just received the 2003 Sony Cyber-shot F828 bridge (with its 28-200mm F2.0-2.8 Carl Zeiss lens) which has a swivel UV/IR hot filter that was intended for its night-shot mode. The filter was NOT intended for full spectrum work so Sony crippled the feature allowing only 'in the dark' work. However, the hot filter can be moved away from the sensor path using a simple magnet hack (held in the right spot on the base of the camera). The filter will go back into place when the camera is turned off. With 58mm filters (720nm & 850nm) it is now possible to try all forms of IR photography without an expensive conversion. I have not tried it yet (waiting for delivery of the small recommended magnet).

A very interesting video. I've seen infrared conversions before, but I think this is the first full spectrum and it's quite fascinating. Thanks for doing this video! About the default ISO level, I am only speculating, but I suspect that 100 is probably because of the 12Mp sensors used in these early PEN cameras. I have an E-P2, E-P3, E-5 and E-PL9 and and I'm not really a PEN fan, other than the E-P5 which is a jewel of a camera and with the optional EVF is just a sweet all-round EDC shooter.

As said interesting. Gives me more idea on what to do next, although I'm just starting out on landscapes and water photography.

Interesting. I like the pictures.

Yo, did you do the full spectrum conversion yourself? if so was it hard? I pulled the IR filter out of an old Canon point-and-shoot. I have both an old E-p1, and E-pl1 collecting dust, and been looking for a way to breathe new life into them

is photographer your job or are you a hobby guy as you seem to be well informed and knowledable ?

None of those shots look like they're from a full spectrum IR body, and winter IR work can look as extreme as Summer shots.

I bit on the click bait title. Such a dirty little secret!!!
