Just snagged a ZS8, so this looks tempting. Just to be certain, you didn't see a need to add a substitute piece of glass when you removed the IR filter from the sensor assembly? Thanks.
What will be the thermal resolution of the sensor and will the thermal resolution be sufficient for video examination trouble shooting of cellphone printed circuit boards?
I'm not an expert on this but basically: Thermal cameras are different than infrared cameras. If you want to troubleshoot circuits you need a thermal camera. Typically their resolution is very poor untell you get into ones that cost over a thousand. Search for thermal cameras on RUclips and you will see what I mean. I have a TOPDON TC002C Thermal Camera and it's resolution is only 256 x 192. Ironically in Thermal cameras this is considered High Resolution!
If you don't put an infrared lens on the front it will be almost a normal camera - I think. You need the infrared lens to limit the camera from picking up the visible light.
How dark is the viewscreen? Can you see what your shooting with that filter on? Would be nice just to replace that IR blocker with a cut piece of filter.
I can see just fine. The image instead of being in color or in black and white is red and white but the viewing is easy and the autofocus still works great.

Good job and interesting operation to give a second life to old and no more used camera . Thx for the instructions.
Thanks so much!! So inspired i will now go on with it
Omg i have the exact same! Thank you for this tutorial!!
'' THANKS............!
Thanks for the instructions. Will be trying this.

Correct. I got it cheap and was prepared to fail. Worked out fine.
Thank you so much for sharing! Great video creation! Super informative creative congratulations too! Good day!

Sorry follow-up question: what kind of colours would u get if you don‘t put an Infrared lense in?
If you don't put an infrared lens on the front it will be almost a normal camera - I think. You need the infrared lens to limit the camera from picking up the visible light.
which filter should I buy to get colors like Kodak aerochrome ?
I have no idea, mostly because I don't know what aerochome looks like.
hello, any notes on exposure compensation? will i have to use a tripod and take long exposures and use high iso?
I just dial it to P mode and shoot. It works great that way.
