    Most often caused by a corrupt SD card

    Only green one. Other pics turned out fine. Will let you know on next pull since it has a different card in it.

    The covert Rep will always say it's the SD cards. It is your camera. Google it and you will see that they are known for that very issue. Hopefully, that rep will replace it for you. Good luck and sorry to hear about your cam. Never is fun when you spend limited funds and get headaches.

    Personally I dont like Hoyt but dont feel the need to run around on internet forums letting everyone know how I feel because I doubt anyone cares how I feel and will buy what they feel fits their needs best.

    Thanks for the great information for the original poster .....

    If there is an issue with you Camera contact Covert. BEST Customer Service out there for cams IMO. Now myself, never had an issue with any of mine. Had a friend who had an issue and was corrected quickly.

    Whenever this happens to me, it has been the SD card. I have a few cards that have 1 out of 3 green pics per 3 shot burst. I write "green" on the card so I can test it to be sure. Sure enough, same card in a different Covert, green pics.

    I'm running 6 Coverts right now. I've only had an issue with one of them. Had one go on a runaway, it just kept taking pictures. I contacted Coverts customer service. They issued me an RMA and I shipped it back. I had a new camera to replace it in about a week. Excellent customer service!

    SD card issue yes. I run a few different brands of cameras and the covert will give me a green picture, run the card in a Bushnell and get half gray pictures, moultrie will not even have a picture just have a corrupt file.

    Keep us updated.
