By removing the IR/UV cutoff filter in front of the camera's sensor, Fujifilm's new Finepix S3 Pro UVIR can detect a much broader range of illumination than most every other camera on the market, well into the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum.
This is particularly useful for two very different types of photographers: fine artists and forensic specialists. For a look at the fine art applications of the S3, see our Field Test. To understand how the camera can be used for proving forgeries or detecting bodily fluids from surfaces seemingly washed clean, watch the video.

PopPhoto.com recently caught up with him at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City and asked him to explain the camera's crime-fighting abilities.
