My Canon uses IR, and the sensor is on the front so the lens would see the remote. Most digital cameras have an IR filter to keep the picture from looking wierd. What is the state of the art as far as infrared photography? The TV show _Ask_This_Old_House_ showed an infrared camera being used for an energy audit. It didn't appear to need liquid nitrogen or anything. Infrared also has uses in electronics, such as finding shorts. _______________________________________________ Open-hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-hardware
