Who knows if the W1 has a night mode and infrared abilities? The manual does not mention it, but the manual is not too good anyway.... Maybe there is a way to do IR photography with the W1 ? If there is no NIGHTMODE, can I still use the ND filters to take IR photos? Never tried it and am interested in doing it to begin with .... Thank you kindly for replying with pertinent info...
Because the filter blocks out visible light, meaning it is like taking a picture at night. It takes the camera a long time to gather enough light for the image to appear. My Nikon took approx. 2 sec with a IR filter in place, and without a tripod or in a breeze the pics were blurry - always.

Because the camera has a fixed, built-in IR BLOCKING filter, positioned in front of the sensor, thus it takes a long time for enough IR to make a photo, to get through the blocker. The Sonys with Nightshot allow this IR blocking filter to move out of the way.

The Sonys with Nightshot are best at IR, IMHO. The W1 does not have this feature. I imagine it could take IR pics in Manual mode, but the exposures would have to be so long that picture quality would suffer to an unacceptable degree, IMO. The V1 has nightshot, and the price on them has come way down since the V3 was introduced. If you want to get into IR, I suggest a V1.
