The only thing I did was add a piece of floppy disc material over the lens to filter out most of the visible light. As soon as I can figure out how to get the 3-LED light system working, I'll post a better report. But there should be no problems with using this camera straight up with the floppy filter added. -= Gary =-

I think my wife has some old photos with the negatives (which usually has some blank frames), and I'll try that. However, even using the floppy filter, I'm getting a fairly bright "dot" on my camera. I'll let you know what happens. -= Gary =-
