Looks like you camera cannot be used for infrared. Check out infrared on the internet. There is a simple way of telling if your camera can be used by using a TV remote.
I am now using a Nikon D60 that I had converted to IR, but before with that filter my exposure in sunlight was 3-4 seconds at f/ll with an ISO of 100.

It could be the camera, the newer cameras done handle IR well as they have more filteration than the older ones.
ALso, I use exposures of over 10 secs with a 72

We have an IR section here at UHH. That would be the place to direct your questions about IR.

You want IR? Buy a Canon G-2 thru G-5 and a set of small screw drivers from Radio Shack.

DIY see the G2 conversion

About two years ago I converted a G-2 and it still works well. The most difficult part is finding glass the right combination thickness. (edges not critical can be rough, drummel diamond wheel is useful) Glass slide covers and picture frame glass solved that problem. Locktight sells a special glue for glass. I used rubber faced clamps to squeeze for 24 hrs plus. Be sure to make a screw map on cardboard and place the screws in the map holes so you can keep the screws in correct position for reassembly.
Or, barrow a camera that will take IR photos as determined by using the TV clicker test. TV clickers communicate with the set via IR.

dpullum.You always have great reliable advice,this is certainly a new one to me..sure like the name kleptography,ha. I've been meaning to thank you for the suggestion month or more ago re. an easy remedy for
placing an old filter holder on a non-threaded lens barrel
for my convenient lightweight bridge camera. I'd have been
willing to transfer the use of just about anything available when you suggested the spice jar you had used and
illustrated it for me.They do come in slightly different
diameters and one turned out to be best for me.Hot water
softened the plastic enough to cut fairly easily,and i take
this belated moment to again thank you for your help.

JENNY, Thank you so much for the recognition; it gets lonely out here on a limb. I jokingly said today that I specialized in crowd control. The police send me in and I start talking about science and gadgets and the crowd disperses!! without force or tear gas, just hot air.
I am glad that you were able to find a spice bottle to do your job for the bridge camera.
The glass to glass glue by locktite. Low cost spring soft plastic faced clamps from homedepot put a good sneeze on the small glass replacement for the hot mirror. clamping one edge then the opposite squeezes the excess glue (and bubbles out. only a very thin layer is needed.

IR:Once converted the Canon G-2 just takes photos like normal and no long exposures needed. IR filters on E-Bay are low cost and work well. The photo you see was taken near a Target parking lot,, what is left of the Pasco County wetlands after Baby Bush said who needs wetlands!! The typical redish color was removed using Topaz B&W plugin. I hope this inspires wannabe IR people.

If you get a G-2, just follow the directions. I did and the 3 time was a charm!! First time bubbles in the glass sandwich. Second time camera did not respond correctly. Took apart again and carefully put the cables back together and !!WALA!! Worked and has continued to work.
The glass glue was the key to no bubbles. Take care by photographing each step. Replace cables carefully. The directions in the article are excellent and so I claim no credit for achieving what another did so informatively. My change was the glue and the use of slide glass covers (get them from local pathology lab). I would think any camera should work. Kodak puts out some very low cost ones.... try the buddy system and work and photograph steps together.

This is what it normal looks like right out of the camera, you need to convert it with software either to black and white or false color.

CanonCan: a ++ composition, a little later the witch with the big wart on the nose would have cone along the path!! You will find Topaz B&W plus to be a versatile addition for handling IR. The virtue of conversion is faster shutter speed. Here is one hand held taken with my G-2 converted.
