5. Photos with streaked subject
• In some cases with low lighting conditions and fast moving subjects, the 8MP or 20MP resolution settings may not perform as well
as the 5MP or 2MP settings.
• If you have multiple images where fast moving subjects produce streaks on the photo, try the 5MP setting instead.
• Set “SHUTTER” in the PHOTO menu to “HIGH” to minimize motion blur.
6. Red, green or blue color cast
• Under certain lighting conditions, the sensor can become confused resulting in poor color images.
• If this is seen on a consistent basis, then the sensor may need servicing. Please contact Bushnell customer service.
7. Short video clips—not recording to the length set
• Check to make sure that the SD card is not full.
• Make sure that the camera has good batteries in it. Near the end of the battery life, the camera may choose to record shorter video
clips to conserve power.
• When “LED” in the PHOTO menu is set to “HIGH” and camera is in Video mode, the maximum available video length at night is 15
seconds to avoid potential overheating of batteries and/or electronic components.
DATE/TIME STAMP NOT APPEARING ON IMAGES
• Make sure that the “TIMESTAMP” option in the PHOTO menu is set to “ON”.
PHOTOS DO NOT CAPTURE SUBJECT OF INTEREST
• Check the “PIR” parameter setting (SETUP menu). For warm temperature conditions, set this to “HIGH” and for cold weather use, set
the PIR sensitivity to “LOW”. For variable weather, use “AUTO”.
• Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source in the camera’s line of sight.
• In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the camera take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera
over ground.
• Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved by strong winds.
• Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.
PIR SENSOR LED FLASHES/DOESN’T FLASH
• When the camera is in the “Setup” mode, a special LED on the front of the camera will ash when it senses motion. This is for setup
purposes only and will help the user aim the camera.
• During use, the LED will not visibly ash when the camera takes an image. The LED array uses infrared light to help keep the
camera hidden from game.
DISPLAY SCREEN COMES ON BUT THEN POWERS OFF
• The display automatically turns o if no control keys are pressed for 30 seconds, to conserve battery power.
CAMERA WON’T RETAIN SETTINGS
• Make sure that you have been saving the changes to any settings that you made while in the menu system, by pressing “OK” after
changing the setting. If you don’t save your new setting after changing it, the camera will continue to use the original default
setting for that parameter.
MOISTURE OR ANTS INSIDE CAMERA
• To ensure humidity or rain is kept out of the camera, secure the DC In plug rmly in place.
• Ants can be attracted by low level electronic vibrations, and enter through any gaps between the exterior and interior of the
camera. Make sure the DC In plug is securely attached.
FIELD SCAN TIME LAPSE NOT WORKING PROPERLY
• Make sure that the stop and start times of Field Scan “A” and “B” do not overlap (for example, do not set the start time of “B” to 8AM
if the stop time of “A” is 10AM).
CAMERA RESPONDS SLOWLY, DOES NOT ALWAYS CAPTURE IMAGE WHEN TRIGGERED
• Avoid setting the “OVERWRITE” parameter to ON when an SD card with capacity of 16 GB or higher is inserted. The Image Recycle
feature requires some time to scan the card and determine the oldest le(s) to delete and replace with the newest les (images).
The larger the card, the more time this will take, and the camera may perform signicantly slower with high capacity cards if the
overwrite feature is activated. There should be no issue using Overwrite with smaller capacity cards (<16 GB), and the feature is
provided to oer a useful option when limited capacity cards are used, or when it is not practical to check the camera and replace
(or download and format) the card on a frequent basis.

Q: AFTER I PURCHASE HIGH RESOLUTION CREDITS, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REQUEST AND VIEW THE HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE?
A: High resolution credits are available immediately after purchase. After requesting a High-Res, the selected image will have a thin orange border around
it. The high-resolution copy of the image will be transmitted the next time the camera contacts the network, whether via triggered image or nightly check-
in. An arrow will be present in the top left corner of the image when the full resolution copy is available to view.
