Bushnell 119435, 119455, 119445 Camera won’t power up, Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems

Camera won’t power up

1.Make sure that you have installed at least 4 batteries (the required minimum #) in the battery compartment, starting at the top, filling battery spaces 1-4 with no “gaps”.

Bushnell recommends using 8 Energizer® Lithium AA batteries in all Trophy Cams.

2.Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing proper polarity. Always place the negative (flat) end of each battery in contact with the spring side of its slot inside the camera.

3.After moving the switch from “Off” to “Setup” or “On”, make sure that the switch is correctly in position to ensure the proper mode (avoid positions “between” two modes).

4.Do not move the switch directly from “On” to “Setup”-always move the switch all the way down to “Off” first, then back up to “Setup”.

Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems

1.Night photos or videos appear too dark

a.Check the battery indicator icon to see if battery power is full. The flash will stop operating near the end of the battery life.

b.You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 45’ (14m) from the camera. Subjects may appear too dark at greater distances.

c.Please note that when the Capture Number parameter is set higher than “1 Photo”, or with very short Interval settings, some images may appear darker than others due to the quick response and rapid retriggering of the camera, allowing less time for the flash to fully recharge before firing again.

2.Daytime photos or videos appear too dark

a.Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day, as this may cause the auto exposure to produce darker results.

3.Night photos or videos appear too bright

26

a.You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no closer than 10’ (3m) from the camera. Subjects may appear too light at closer distances.

4.Daytime photos or videos appear too bright

a.Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day.

5.Photos with streaked subject

a.In some cases with low lighting conditions and fast moving subjects, the 5MP or 8MP resolution settings may not perform as well as the 3MP setting.

b.If you have multiple images where fast moving subjects produce streaks on the photo, try the 3MP setting instead.

6.Red, green or blue color cast

a.Under certain lighting conditions, the sensor can become confused resulting in poor color images.

b.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

a.Check to make sure that the SD card is not full.

b.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.

Date/Time Stamp not appearing on images

1.Make sure that the “Time Stamp” parameter is set to “On”.

Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest

1.Check the “Sensor Level” (PIR sensitivity) parameter setting. For warm environmental conditions, set the Sensor Level to “High” and for cold weather use, set the sensor for “Low”.

2.Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source in the camera’s line of sight.

3.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. 27
