Memory Card Problems

If your camera won’t start up properly and/or displays “card

locked”, first check to be sure your card is not “Locked”. On

most SD cards there is a switch on the side of the card. If

the card is locked, you will not be able to save any photos. If

the card is not locked, but this message persists, you can

attempt to clean the contacts in the card holder by blowing canned air into the

card slot. This will often resolve the issue.

If you have other issues, you may have to try a different brand of memory card.

We have found that some of the less expensive memory cards are very slow and

do not always run well (even if they are advertised as fast). RECONYX® certified

memory cards are available at www.reconyx.com .

Cold Weather Problems

If your camera shuts down in the cold, it may be too cold for the batteries to

operate reliably. Refer to the “Battery Specifications” section for recommended

battery types. Extreme cold weather may have an adverse affect on the LCD

display; this does not inhibit the camera’s ability to function.

Battery Life Less than Expected

NiMH batteries have decreased life in hot weather. They will run the camera, but

they will have decreased run time. It is not unusual to see battery life drop off

50% or more when daytime temperatures near 90˚ Fahrenheit or higher. This will

not damage your NiMH batteries; but they will discharge at a faster rate.
