I have a Panasonic HC-V700 camera/camcorder and an attachable Infra-Red light but i cannot film in ‘night vision’. Is it possible to do so?
hi, kevin
thanks for your question! Infrared filter can block light, and only allow infrared light to pass through the filter.
The night vision function principle by recording infrared light image, and therefore requires two conditions:
1. Able to record infrared light
2. Infrared light fired into the lens

Pansonic HC-V700 video models with night shot, so after the infrared lens is installed, open the night shoot mode, you can shoot up.
NOTE: Must be installed on the infrared lens and then open the night shooting mode, before picked the infrared lens, the night shoot mode must be shut down first, or strong light may cause damage to the digital camera CCD.
