According to Universal Press Syndicate, Sony Corp. will modify its popular
Handycam video camera after a Japanese magazine revealed that a $7 filter used
with the lens's infrared feature could enable users to see underneath the
clothing of lightly dressed people. An Associated Press reporter likened the
effect to seeing a body through a thin curtain rather than viewing someone
nude, but that did not stop a brief run on the cameras before Sony's announcement.
