*** Sony shutters camera that sees through clothes

Electronics giant Sony Corp. said Wednesday it had halted shipments
of some video cameras after finding they could be used for filming
more of their subjects than meets the eye. Some versions of the
Handycam have infrared technology which lets users shoot at night or
in darkness in a "night shot" mode. But magazine reports revealed
that when the special feature is used in daylight or a lighted room
with a special filter it can "see through" clothing - underwear can
show up, especially on those lightly dressed, and people wearing
swimsuits look almost naked. A Sony spokesman said the first the
company knew of the camera's surprise feature was when reporters
started asking for comments on the "new way" of using the camera. See
