All Canon Digital Camcorders
Can every camcorder pick up IR light?
I’m looking into getting an on-camera IR light source and just read in the description that the camera you use it with must be in night vision mode. Now, I’ve been under the impression that all digital cameras and camcorders can see infrared light, so I’m confused as to why it would say that your camera must have a night vision mode for it to work. I’ve got a Canon GL2 (with no night mode setting like many Sony cameras have). Will these IR lights work with it?

My Canon GL2 can see the IR light from a remote control. Does that mean it’ll work with an IR emitter in zero light?
No. Not all camcorders can deal with infrared light in zero visible light.
My Sony HDR-HC1 has a built-in infrared emitter. The HC1 can “see” in zero light. My Sony HDR-FX1 does not have a built-in IR emitter – and cannot see when trying to record at the same time as the HC1 with the HC1′s IR emitter on.
Many – most – camcorders have an IR filter which is why they can’t see in zero light even if there is an IR source on…
