		Point a tv remote at your camera and snap a shot while pressing the remote. If you can capture anything coming from the front of the remote your camera can do IR.
 
 Hoya r72 filter will help you.

		I think there's only one generally accepted IR filter as mentioned above.
 
 The 7D sensor is basically the same as the D70 sensor. The D70 does a nice job. The KM ought to as well. |

		Hrm. Bummer.
 
 Could you try it again in a very low light situation for like 20 seconds with multiple presses or holding it down?
 
 Different sensors have different sensitivities to IR. |
