IR cut filter
shows which Alvium models are equipped with an IR cut filter. The filter is
permanently installed and cannot be removed.
Cameras
without
IR cut filter have a higher sensitivity for low-light imaging.
Moreover, spectral sensitivity is increased.
Cameras
with
IR cut filter are more accurate in reproduction of color, contrast, and
sharpness, as the filter absorbs near-IR wavelengths. See
for filter
