Removing the IR cut filter will expose your camera’s sensor to dust or other debris. Do not remove the sensor cover window in front of your camera’s sensor. Removing this will damage the sensor and will void your warranty.

Removing the IR cut filter may also change the optical path. It is important to make sure you can refocus your lens afterward.
