They call it nightshoot. Other than that in the pro world we use nightvision attachments that go between camera and lens that you can rent.

Bill Powers Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The model number was DXC-3000IR. It made B&W pictures in the dark. Good luck finding one today though. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
