The title says it all, really. How does it work? Did it do a good job? Thinking of getting into it.

Has anyone used the RX10 Mkiii for UV photography?

to get the best out of uv photography you need a converted camera and specialist lens with crystal quartz glass etc.
A full spectrum camera with a b&w 403 filter will allow you a taste but results will be limited.

Since cameras come with UV filters over the sensor the RX10iv will not be very good for UV photography. What people usually do is buy an older camera cheap and have the UV filter removed.

jpeg there are 2 main types of uv photography. One is fluorescence which is recording images of things that glow under uv light which any camera can cover.
The second is reflective photography which needs a uv sensitive camera with filters that only allow uv rays through. Most common is near uv ( uva) and a b&w 403 filter. If indoor you need uv flashguns .
its used by forensics and can detect bruises under the skin etc , but photographically it used for flower photography giving you an insight to what insects see and they tell different flowers apart.
Makes interesting landscapes with purple skies and white foliage.

Option one that Labe mentions - think BUZZ Lightyear ride at Disneyworld.
I shined a UV light on my hat in the dark.

Please note. I am an idiot. I meant IR photography though I like the UV samples...
Has anyone used the RX10 Mkiii for IR photography?!

Are you going to disassemble/modify your camera yourself, or send it off to someone else to convert it?Please note. I am an idiot. I meant IR photography though I like the UV samples...

Neither. I guess I should have been more specific. I guess I'm meaning FAKE IR a la https://digital-photography-school....without-expensive-gear-or-camera-conversions/
I'm just wondering how much IR the RX10 iii picks up. I did the test and I could see the remote 'light' in the camera but it was fairly dim. I was just wondering if it was worth buying an IR filter to try it.

Thank you. It looks really easy to do. He said it works with a 717 as well.
