• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Has anyone ever..

Felidire, did you use flash when you took the picture?

Coz maybe the purple is from flash, kind of like when you take pictures of people and some have red eye in them.

Nope, I just pointed the camera at the Sensor Bar, and I could see 4 or 5 purple circular lights on either side of the bar. I was looking at them through the LCD screen on the camera before even taking the picture to show people.

Hmm. That's weird.
 
that happens with remote controls too, except It's red.

Never tried it with a Wii sensor bar though, but i'd like to..
 
Hah, you're 100% right, i held a button on a dvd remove and checked it through the camera's screen, same purple circle. Guess the color varies with cameras or something... Cool though. xD
 
This is old.

From what I can gather, this might be those "ghosts" that people say they have encounters with. Neat party trick; say you have a haunted camera that senses ghost trails. Make sure to spread anything infrared all over the room beforehand.
 
I found this out by accident by taking a picture of my TV with my cell phone.
 
This is much freakier-looking when seen through a camera's preview screen than it is in still pictures. At least with my Wii's sensor-bar (it's a 3rd-party wireless one; the one that originally came with the Wii broke) and my camera.

If you actually take a picture, it only shows up as just a few purple dots (exactly like the pictures that have been posted.) But on the camera's preview screen... it looks like this giant pillar of translucent purplish energy-stuff moving from the floor to the ceiling in front of the TV.
