When I use the PixController DIP Switch setting for “Movie Mode” I still get still photos.
What am I doing wrong?
Why is there sometimes nothing in my photo on my outdoor setups?
Be sure to setup your Sony Camera into Movie taking mode.
Sometimes birds can fly past your camera setup and trigger the camera. A bird flying past can be too fast for this camera to catch.
You may also have a “false photo”. Sometimes on warmer days objects that heat up to warm blooded animal temperatures and move can fool the PIR into thinking an animal walked passed.
Refer to your Camera manual for setting this mode.
Try turning down the "PIR Sensitivity POT" to be less sensitive on warmer days
