It's time to speak out for your right to repair
We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronic
equipment—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. This is a once-in-a-generation
chance to protect local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that
keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.
Join the cause and tell your state representative to support Right to Repair. Tell them you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and accessible. Stand up for your right to repair!
The red tinted glass is a light filter known as a "hot mirror". The image sensor in digital still cameras is sensitive to the near-infrared spectrum (720nm or so). The hot mirror filters out this near infrared light so that it doesn't cause odd tints in your pictures. Incidentally, cameras which have been converted for IR photography have this filter replaced with one that does the opposite, so that only infrared light will reach the sensor.
