![]() You can use the Nightshot mode even in the bright daylight without any Old Models can get clear shots (with a green tint) of the subjectsĮven in bright daylight when using Nightshot mode. You can also test your camcorder by attempting an actual picture ![]() Then check on the manufacturer's label with the date the camcorder was If you aren't sure of when you purchased the ![]() Therefore if you have purchased your Nightshot before August 12, 1998, then yours Old Models are the original Nightshot models that Sony produced beforeĪugust 12, 1998. Going to purchase a Nightshot camcorder it will help your degree of success to know the differences If you have a Sony Nightshot camcorder or are There are three different types of Nightshot modelsĪvailable. "Old", "Semi-Modified New" & "Fully-Modified New" Short, if the ICF is removed, much more NIR can be delivered to theĮasily obtain clear see-through images under any NIR environment. There is a 100nm-shift difference in these two camcorders. Is roughly about 700nm while the CCD sensitivity peak value of the Sony Nightshot Further, the CCD sensitivity peak value of a Shown below, you can see the clear differences between the amount of the NIR reachingĪ Sony Nightshot's CCD and a normal camcorder's CCD with ICF installed.Īccording to the graph, there is twice as much total NIR reaching the CCD (the surface area The ICF is displaced from the path of the light rays, while the CCD can receive an ample amount of the NIR. This ICF, which blocks off the NIR, is the biggest obstacle in seeing-through andĪs shown below, a Nightshot camcorder has a external switch -Ĭlear see-through image under any NIR environment. Visible rays, as shown at the graph below, itĬreate a natural image on the viewfinder or LCD screen for the human eye Since the CCD is originally more sensitive to NIR The CCD by blocking the NIR and ultraviolet rays. It is there to compensate the colorings and the tones of the information reaching In-between the optical lens and the CCD, most camcorders have The object lens after setting it on the Nightshot mode.ĭisplaces the camcorder's internal glass filter called "IR Cut Filter To take a see-through picture with a Sony Nightshot Camcorder, you just need to attach the PF on The amount of the NIR reaching the CCD plays the most significant role in deciding theĪmong almost all CCD devices on sales, Sony's Nightshot Camcorders have the highest sensitivity level for the The NIR reaching the CCD in a given environment and its processing efficiency. CCD sensitivity level for the NIR can depend on the amount of Vary by device, and the differences in the sensitivity level can also directly However, CCD sensitivity level for the NIR may Shows a CCD, such as you may find in a camcorder or digital camera. Therefore any devices, such as camcorders, digital cameras andĬCD cameras for industry, can be good see-through devices. As mentioned before, the see-through images are the IR images produced by a CCD.
