Scientific and forensic digital photography has come of age with the introduction of
the Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro IR series of digital SLR cameras. Gone are the days of
third party custom modifications that void warranties and leave you without support.
As infrared film becomes less common due to availability and costly complex chemical processing,
the need for high resolution DSLR’s that provide faster results in both infrared and ultra violet
wavelengths has become critical. Fujifilm’s new S3 Pro IR model now makes it possible to capture,
analyze, transfer, and output images faster than film processing.

Digital IR and UV Applications include:
Forensic science, medical analysis of skin conditions, toxicology, vascular tracing, tattoo
documentation, biological trace detection, evidence and counterfeit documenting, crime
scene and forgery investigations, surveillance, gun shot residue, burned documentation
recovery, bit mark analysis, and autopsies.
For the law enforcement community, special new light sources are often used to see in
alternate spectrums during the evidence-gathering phase of an investigation. erefore
in-field, high-resolution documentation in the ultraviolet or infrared spectrums has
become key to many aspects of a case. It’s now important to photograph field evidence
before it is removed and undergoes potential change from further analysis.

e Super CCD SRII’s low band pass filter (ultra violet protection) has been removed along with the IR protection filter. is
optimizes the wide dynamic of the Super CCD SRII to see in both visible, UV, and IR spectrums at once.
e application for the IRUV model is primarily scientific in nature. Due to sensitivity to
such a wide range of wavelengths, manual focusing and exposure control are required.
Capture of a desired wavelength is managed by direct lens filtration, tuned to the light
source in use. Fujifilm’s exclusive 30-second Super CCD live preview mode allows fast
and easy pre-capture verification and direct manual focusing via the LCD before the
image is captured. Some SLR
lenses are protected against UV
and IR light penetration; there-
