[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 466276, member: 10304"] The camera is trying to capture visible light, but what I believe is happening is the light source is UV, so a specific wavelength as opposed to the broad range of wavelengths of visible light. As the UV illumination is generated by a light source of a specific wavelength, the energisation is also based on this so the camera can't see it accurately, unless of course the energisation converts the UV light into a visible wavelength. I may be off the mark, but from here I think it'll take a scientific mind to explain it further... I do not possess one, mine is more mechanical and logical :( Now I'm out of my depth and drowning..... HEELLLLLLLPP!!!! [/QUOTE]
