Repair times

Depending on the appliance's needs. If no spare parts are required, or if we have them in stock, the repair will be carried out immediately after acceptance of the quote.

If the part is not in stock, the availability of the replacement from the manufacturer will determine the duration of the repair, which may range between 1 and 4 weeks.

Request an exact quote by specifying your camera model via email. presupuestos@dstfotografia.com, through the form on our website, or by calling 965 461 862.

Which camera can be modified to IR, Full Spectrum and NDVI?

Except for the Fujifilm S2 pro which does not allow modification since it has the filter fused to the image sensor, any compact camera, DSLR, CSC, SLT or digital back can be modified, taking into account the following notice for certain models.

Important Notice: Nikon D700, D3, D3s, D3x, D4, D4s and Df

These models utilize a new self-diagnostic infrared monitor circuit. This feature involves an infrared LED that could potentially cause infrared light leakage into the frame. In most cases, this won't be an issue unless you're shooting at high ISOs and with long exposure times. We're working on a solution, but for now, if you plan on using high ISOs or long exposures, it might be better to choose a different model.

Methods of payment

Accepted payment methods:

  • Bank transfer: The equipment is sent back once the payment has been verified in the bank account.
  • Pay online with a card: Secure and instant 100% payment via platform.
When do I have to pay for the repair?

The repair is paid for once it has been inspected and completely finished in our laboratory.

Can I send the material with a company other than SEUR?

Yes, of course. The only thing you need to be clear about regarding the shipment is that it must be sent prepaid to our facilities.

How do I send the photographic material and fill out the form?

You must properly protect the equipment you send us to avoid breakage due to knocks during transport. Use a box that offers good resistance by introducing the necessary padding so that the equipment does not move inside.

Do not send camera bodies with lenses attached, especially if they are large/heavy lenses, as the mounts could be damaged during transport. Separate them and put on the protective caps, individually protecting each device within the same package.
