4. AUTO DAY/NIGHT IR FILTER SWITCH (Models 119937/119907 Only)
The Model 119935/119905 Trail Scout camera has an automatic function which activates a filter in the camera’s lens system during the time period you define as “Day” (see “Set Day Time” in the Setup Guide). The purpose of this filter is to block infrared light, so that photos taken by daylight or with the standard (xenon) flash tube (in heavy shade or late in the day) will have a normal appearance. This infrared filter is found in virtually all digital cameras, as their image sensors are sensitive to infrared light as well as visible light wavelengths. However, during the “Night” time period (from your defined Day end time to Day start time), the infrared blocking filter is automatically deactivated, or removed from the lens path. This allows the LED lamp array, which emits invisible infrared light, to be able to create an image on the camera’s CMOS sensor when the IR light illuminates a subject in front of the lens. Because the infrared filter is activated during the “Day” time period, using the LED flash mode during the day is not recommended, as the filter will prevent the infrared light from the LED from reaching the sensor, resulting in dark photos. The standard flash mode may be selected for night use, however, photos may be slightly pink or reddish in color due to the deactivated infrared filter. Refer to the following chart:
