PowerShot G9 X - Infrared Filter Specs Needed

imagesbyirwin — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 19:33:06 GMT

I'm planning to convert the camera to infrared and need the filter prior to disassembly. Does anybody know the size of the inside filter?

Thanks in advance.

Do you know such a filter for the G9X exists, and that disassembly by a mere mortal is feasible to put it in?

Greetings,

I'm in agreement with Normadel. I would not attempt to modify the G9x. I found a tutorial for doing it but you have to perform AF calibration after the filter is replaced. If done incorrectly, it may render your camera inoperable.

The lens is stuck and since I was going to have it repaired, I wanted to convert it to a dedicated infrared since it was an older model. I've done this before with an Olympus MFT. The repair person wanted me to get the filter prior. Appreciate your reply and concern.
