X-Ray pictures refer to taking pictures in the near-infrared using an infrared sensitive camera in conjunction with an infrared filter. The combination can occasionally see through or partially see through some materials such as fabrics- typically thin, dark synthetics. The cameras are, of course, not actually taking an X-Ray picture. X-Rays are in a completely different part of the spectrum. However, the term is commonly used for certain types of infrared photography. Since 1988, Sony has crippled the functionality of cameras and camcorders with the NiteShot mode because of publicity surrounding the X-Ray effect. Sony forces the aperture fully open, which can result in overexposure and forces shutter speed to either 1/30 or 1/15 sec which results in motion blur. Our UV+Visible+IR modified cameras and camcorders are modified so that they see all possible light in normal mode. Since the camera is in normal mode, the camera retains all the normal functionality. By attaching various filters, you can allow the camera to see different light ranges. For example, using a our CC1 filter which blocks out UV and IR light, the camera can take normal pictures. Using an IR filter blocks UV and Visible light allowing IR pictures. You can buy our camera filters here. |
