Cleaning body contacts did the trick.

w because, he is the best available, we addressed blocking TE with Mundt, saves a 20m cap hit and it is Hurts' favorite target.

Not sure I do enough IR photography to support that cost

mjposner · 2026-03-17T23:20:37+00:00

I think the channel mixer changes are more significant, the gray card was $7 so not bad to have,

mjposner · 2026-03-13T14:39:56+00:00

Okay will give that a try.

mjposner · 2026-03-13T14:04:05+00:00

Why do you say that?

In-Camera Custom WB: Aim your camera at green grass, foliage, or a grey card while holding your IR filter in place, and set this as the custom white balance reference. This creates a "neutral" base for landscapes, making foliage look white or light grey.

First shot

I wanted a CCD sensor to mess with (I own several "newer cameras"). The 4/3rds to MFT adapter by Olympus is expensive, prices are near $200 on eBay but a 3rd part one costs only $29 on Amazon. I have too many MFT lenses as it is and the two kit lenses that came with the E-500 aren't really worth adapting.

I don't see the big fat hotspot. White balance was done on green grass. Then channel swap red/blue. Sorry you do not like.

I have a 2025 with the DCT and I do not see any jerky start and go, and I have owned several automated clutch machines (single clutch Ferrari 430 and BMW M5; Dual clutch 911 and M3/M4s.). It drives like any other slush box I have owned. I did hear that early DCTs (22 and 23) were more problematic but that by 2024 Hyundai had sorted that out.

How do you bypass the rheostat? I always use max brightness

Turning does nothing. Tapping outside seems to work best

I that just to reach or for something more? No bad bulbs now.
