Hi SueO and Michelle A. The hotmirror is still in place in the CP995 and the above IR photograph only used an exposure of 1 second with the camera set with an ISO of 100. I am still learning/playing and discovering what are the best settings to use with the CP995 for IR work; but when I have it figured out i will post more images. The IR image above was only cropped and had a border placed around it. No other post processing was done to the image.
