Infrared - recording it, not filtering it out

[jmcquaid]

I'm wondering if anyone has had occasion to use the EX1 to record under light conditions with INFRARED as the primary light source? I need to understand this for recording a scientific procedure that has to be performed in semi-darkness. I'm thinking that the "problem" of infrared sensitivity might be an asset for my purposes.

cheers,

Jim

The EX1 is sensitive in the really-really-near infrared. You should see if your illumination
source overlaps the transmission of the EX1's hot mirror as plotted in this press release:
