Camcoders, LEDs and oddities. by huitzilopochtli 2002-12-01 14:26:00
I have Panasonic's (not that Sony's are much diffrent) digital camcoder and I have noticed a mighty strange thing. LED from my TV's remote control can be seen (as a white dot) when you press a button, of course.
Ok, so maybe it can record a bit into IR. So, i turn off all the lights and point camere towards some quite heated metal surface. Nothing. By all means it should glow, as least a bit. But no, total darkness.

Would somebody explain that.
