Which camera can see inside clothes?

The new X-T1 IR has a new function that means it can "see" infrared light which we can't see with the naked eye. As Wired say: "But one odd side effect of infrared photography is that, in some cases, it can see right through clothing. Not always, and the clothes have to be pretty thin in the first place."

Fujifilm have announced that it is releasing a new camera that, among it's many new features, can see through clothing. The new X-T1 IR has a new function that means it can "see" infrared light which we can't see with the naked eye. As Wired say: "But one odd side effect of infrared photography is that, in some cases, it can see right through clothing. Not always, and the clothes have to be pretty thin in the first place." The issue being that nowadays, the majority of high street clothes are indeed incredibly thin. So thin you can often see people's pants through their leggings even without infrared. (Sadly). Basically, as with the picture above (which shows this woman's sports bra and tattoo under a t-shirt), you would be able to see through the top layer of clothing and through to the underwear/skin underneath. BUT to be fair to Fujifilm, Wired explain that the whole purpose of the camera is for good things and so the small proportion of potential creeps who might buy it probably wasn't high up on their list. No, this is not a camera built for pervs. It's a camera built for professionals. There are plenty of practical cases for infrared photography. Fujifilm says the X-T1 IR is geared toward crime-scene investigators, healthcare applications, and scientists. In the world of forensics, infrared photography can be used to analyze bloodstains, detect deep-tissue injuries, and see through scratched-out passages on documents. It's just that the ability to see through clothes happens to be a side effect that rich "pervs" who have a lot of time on their hands might be keen to buy. Great. The only comfort is that this night vision technology is already on the market for anyone who was really keen to find it. Okay, that's not a comfort at all. Sorry.
