    Hi

    A finger at 1 m will be difficult to detect, actually the surface is too small and the distance is too long to have enough photons coming back even if the human skill has a quite good IR refelectance ~60%. Anyway, you have better chance with the L1X and the L3CX because the L1X has lens so better sensitivity. Just try it.

    Thanks,
