Re: Nikon D1 and Coolpix 990

Rolland,

What could happen if I a regular photo is shot while there is no infrared filter
(when it had been removed manually)?

Removing a IR Filter seems possible to me (with a risk damaging the camera), but
slightly moving the CCD .....
Have you done this on a camcorder?

Regards

Robert
