What is Night Vision 'Infinite Focus'? Why & How (PVS-14)

#NightVision #Videography #Cinematography
Experience hands-free POV footage through my PVS-14 while we discuss "infinite focus", not only relative to the world of night vision but also video-work and the human body!

Yup that's what I figured within my first hours of use. Focusing it to the stars is the best overall setting for patrolling and gunfighting. I never tried to explain to myself why is it the most effective though. It just works :D

Great info as always for us on our civi nvg journey! I have a little photography knowledge so these comparisons are helpful. You got the F stop, iris, focal stuff correct as far as I understand it on cameras.

I looked up the CIE coordinates for P45 phosphor, converted it, and depending on the luma, the color is described as Moonstone. There. You have Moonstone phosphor night vision. P45 Moonstone.

Get a VR manufacturer to make a night vision with auto-focus. Won't be too hard, you can just make an eye tracker for digital nightvision.

I attached an adjustable iris to my pvs-14 and now it seems like it isn’t picking up as much/ seems darker even when wide open? Any recommendations?

I already undersood "how to" but your explanation of the "Why" is super interesting!

Also for Autofocus, what I think about is how the lens has no way of reading your mind to know what you are trying to look at. When navigating rough terrain, I can imagine it will always be looking at the wrong tree branch LOL

Thanks again!

I wonder how effective lidar af would be using ir light

This adjustable aperture might just be useful for only GaAs, and only in bright environments, because that situation results in a serious reduction in resolution, down to 30 lp/mm. Nice vocal fry btw. Very relaxed.

Hard to walk up and down hills without adjusting focus a bit from time to time.
