I still get IR pollution on my P4K. Have to use an IR cut filter on my lenses.

I'm genuinely surprised to hear the P4K has one built in.

There is one, but not strong enough if you use ND.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

I've never seen IR pollution outdoors, only indoors.

Sooo...no ND. Still get pollution in certain locations.

Out new Ursa Broadcast G2 does not, however. (Same location.) Which is nice. :)

The ND filters in the G1 are OK too. Surprisingly, neither does it happen on an iPhone, I really tried to provoke it with heavy ND.

I recently observed IR polution in real life while in a heavily tinted vehicle. Some fabrics were still black and others were that ruddy IR tone.

As the OP was a pron bot I hope it doesn’t mind if the thread goes OT.

Good Luck
