C1 and C1 PRO cameras can be ordered with filter options:
- LP0508-P0050 650nm short pass
- LP0508-P0051 850nm long pass
- No filter
- Custom
In order to replace a only some basic tools and possibly optics cleaning materials and consumables are needed.

Make sure camera is clean so dust particles will not be transferred on a filter or imaging sensor.

Assembly camera in reverse order.# Optical filter influence on captured image
Even if camera sensor has RGB filters sensor is sensitive to wider range of light than human eye can see. This usually covers spectrum range from UV to NIR. Some sort of filter is required in order to get required image style or properties. Various optical filters have different use purposes.This topic covers 3 use cases Visible, NIR and full spectrum.
Example pictures below represents different use scenarios:
### Visible spectrum
**650nm IR CUT** filter should be used in order to get natural picture look.
[](https://wiki.kurokesu.com/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/filters1.jpg)
### Full spectrum
No filter is used in the camera. In this scenario all full spectrum of light will reach sensor.
[](https://wiki.kurokesu.com/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/filters2.jpg)
#### NIR spectrum
In this scenario only IR portion of light can reach sensor.
