Title: Washed out daytime photos
Post by: Gopher on February 02, 2015, 09:08:03 PM: Anybody have an idea as to why all of a sudden my Bushnell trail cam is taking only over exposed and washed out pics? Fresh batteries don't make a difference and none of the settings have been changed.

Also try a different SD card before you throw it away. I have had SD cards make my trail cams go wonkie.

Post by: Gopher on February 03, 2015, 02:27:17 PM: Thanks for the input. At first I thought maybe it got caught looking into the sun but even on cloudy days it was washed out. It's about 4 years old. I have tried looking the problem up on the net and have seen in several places that many trail cams start doing that after 4 or 5 years. Not that big a deal to replace it but I just wanted to find out if I was missing something before I did.
