A staff member at a specialty camera shop said that infrared photography can damage your camera, will this filter cause damage?

Boy, I've been using it for about 5 years now and everything is working just fine on both cameras that I use (Nikon d60 & d3200)

I have never heard that placing an infared filter could damage your camera. I researched infared photography before I purchased my infared filter. Nowhere did anyone mention damage occurring from using this type of filter. I've used my filter several times and have NOT damaged my camera.

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately we don't carry any cameras with mechanical IR cut filters.

I don't see how it would void the camera warranty, but if you damage the LENS using these filters, it would in my view void the lens warranty.

No it shouldn't do that but I have had it happened to me before regardless of filter brand. I would get them replaced because of defect.

Hi: I bought this for a friend. He has not taken a lot of pictures yet as he is just getting through the change from film to digital. I have looked at most of the pictures he has taken and I have not seen any evidence of any undesirable effects from using this filter holder and the clear filter.

Hello Sandy. Filters do a lot to the photographs. They eliminate the glare the sun causes, The haze the air shows sometimes, the greenish skin tones. They also protect the cameras lens from getting scratched.

I attach low cost clear filters on all of my lenses for protection from dusts, deposits and finger prints on the glass. Thus, I have never wiped, never contacted the lens glass. I clean the filters by using water from reverse osmosis in my kitchen whenever I find deposits and/or dusts on the filter glass. To my tests, I do not see my low cost filters make any adverse effects on the pictures taken by myself.

Yes. The "pros" will tell you that any additional layer of glass can add distortion and reflection, but I leave a filter on all the time to protect that expensive lens from dirt, dings, fingerprints, etc. Many of today's filters are so well made with multi-coating and high tolerances that I doubt even the experts can tell a difference in 99% of photos. Years ago, so called UV filters added a hint of pink to fight UV. That is no longer the case.

No, but there's a small chance anything might harm the lens in my opinion. Coverage is great but just like phone cases the camera lens is exposed. Hope this helped

I read about that before I purchased mine and though it is possible due the compact camera's fixed lense, if you take really good care of it and try to be cautious I don't see how it can't be avoidable. I purchased a Pelican 1020 micro case and keep it in there, no way any dust can get inside of it.

No. A big NO! You should only ask a certified technician or someone with experience to clean your camera's sensor because its a very sensitive component. Use the air blower to remove any dust from your sensor if you think there are dusts on it. If you see a smudge even after blowing the sensor with the air blower, its likely that there is oil residue on your sensor & only get a certified or experienced technician to clean your sensor. Hope this help.

You should absolutely protect you investment. Use a filter. The picture affect is so finite that you really cant tell if a picture was shot with a filter or not. In my case, better a cracked piece of glass from the filter vs. a cracked or scratched lens. Its even good to have on to protect from dust and debris.

Not unless you have it worked on, costly, and you will have an IR camera.You can buy IR filters as I did. Works pretty well.

The E2 solution should be safe for all sensors. You only need to select correct size (full size sensor or APC size sensor). I have even used E2 on the Nikon D800E which does not have a filter over the sensor. Further information is on Photographic Solutions website: http://photosol.com. They also respond to questions via computer.

I would not ad it could damage the unit, but if you do remove the filter bag and filter. Why chance it when you can get a cheap wet vac

Avoid sticking anything inside the camera (mechanical or chemical) if at all possible. Dust can usually be removed with a "Giottos Rocket Air Blaster", which costs $10 here at

Depending on your camera, it's inside. Be careful as this will hurt your ability to use infrared.
