This IR stuff is interesting. I shot a few rolls of IR back in my B&W film days in the last century, but have not experience since.

I might have missed it, but how does one “convert” a digital camera (specifically a Canon M) to IR?

Some cameras have enough IR sensitivity to be usable with just a filter added to the lens, but most need the internal IR/UV blocking 'hot mirror' removed from the sensor stack (and normally replaced with something else quartz, glass or a filter)
