Introduction

The filter is responsible for blocking infrared light that comes into the camera lens. Once you have removed the lens assembly, you can remove the filter.

The glass filter is located inside a self-contained unit with a battery and cannot be removed from the unit without damaging it. It sits within the camera lens holder. Although the lens holder has two slots, only one screw actually anchors the filter to the lens holder.

A Phillips #0 screwdriver is required for the single screw.

Step 1
