<DIV><FONT color=black size=2 face=arial>I recalled that most digital cameras
are sensitive to IR, so I brought my digital camera in and sure enuf there were
the little lights, all lit up. A couple days later I found the problem was
in the Power Supply feeding the "Servo Preamp".</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=black size=2 face=arial>A few years ago I was playing with an
early consumer camcorder (VHS-C) with an integrated "chip camera". One of
the kids aimed an infrared TV remote control at it and pushed a button. In the
viewfinder, I could see the IR LED blinking. Don't know if more modern
camcorders got around to including IR filters. Made an easy way to tell if a
remote control was dead or alive, though.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=black size=2 face=arial>Does anyone else remember the joy of
color balancing a camera with extended red XQ-1020 Plumbicons that did NOT have
the IR filter?</FONT></DIV>
