There are 2 ways to shoot infrared with most digital SLRs...
1. Use an Infrared Filter which basically blocks all visible light and only allows the heat frequencies to reach the sensor. This method requires long long exposures to get a properly exposed image.
2. Have the camera modified by removing and replacing the low-pass filter that is mounted over the camera's sensor. This requires disassembly of the camera and sometimes a certain amount of electrical surgery. It is technically something you can do yourself, but I would not recommend it. Best to send it off for professional service (has it's own risks... see https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/general-photography/119715-spencers-camer...-my-k200d.html)
Search "infrared" here on the forum for more threads dealing with the conversion.
