Does the K20D have infrared capabilities?

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.

I don't think so. There are some very well known Sony cameras that lend themselves to this kind of modification, like the Dsc H9. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnK7sTCrKcY for more details. Good luck!

No, I don't think so. It does not have an infrared focusing beam and I do not think it can shoot infrared photos.

It does have this function, there is a switch on the side of the camera to turn the IR on. Honestly I haven't needed to use it or try it yet, so I'm not sure how well it works. But yes the function is there.

Looking to the device and reading the manual (http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c01523298-1.pdf) the device does not have infrared tranceiver ability. What it does have is a great transfer rate from CF to SD which is great for photography. Being able to remove an SD card from the camera and place in this device to move the images to the CF and then have a clean SD card is very helpful. Not many devices have dual memory card slots.

Fathom, The handbook does not specifically address infrared measurement. The unit just measures overall illumination, that is all from what I gathered from the handbook. I believe the instrument you want is not this one, the unit you want will probably cost much more and be rated for infrared. Sorry, Charley

For this model (K30), the backlit light color is only red. And yes you would look silly!

It can, however there is a square IR filter over the sensor chip in the camera used to block IR light and improve picture quality. This filter can be removed to make the camera more sensitive to IR light by unscrewing the main lens and carefully pulling out the filter.

I believe the camera can do three exposures: your then current setting, plus two others, including Auto Exposure, ISO, the film simulation modes, etc. I don't think it has a infrared mode, but I could be wrong.

It does not have any IR leds (or night vision). It's a 1MP that can run 720p images.

No. The IR reflects off the glass and back into the lens and you cannot get a clear video. You will mostly see the IR bulbs lite up and reflected back at you in the glass reflection and not much else.

Dpreview.com is making those comments based on JPEG files only. Nobody shoots JPEG anymore. RAW files are where its at and the K10D is every bit as good as my Nikon D200 or similar cameras.

Yes, the brightness of the IR LEDs is controlled by the sensor. The less light the brighter the LEDs. The sensor has an IR filter so it does not see IR as light.

Yes it does;there is a seperate switch on back handle which puts out a fair amount of infrared.

yes, if you see all the clear led's around the camera lens, those do IR for viewing of short range. I do not own this but in other cameras I own the quality is decent for about 10-15 feet at night

Absolutely! The illumination level can be reduced in all colors or white light with the IR remote. This is a really nice system.

No, not that I am aware of. And with the lack of CEC-HDMI capability, it is doubtful. The current IR blaster support for receivers is very basic.

No. No IR input on this device. USB and Bluetooth are included. Wi-Fi is built-in as well.

It does not have IR, it uses an LED which can be on, PO, or motion activated.
