    Ok...so I bought a Primos Truth Cam 35 back around Christmas time. Never really messed around with it til about a month and a half ago. Put it out in a wooded patch behind my house and let it sit for awhile. Checked the card the other day and I have alot of pics on it. cool. Not so much because all of the pics from the night time are pure black. the daytime pics are ok.

    So, did I set something up wrong that the flash is not working or do you think my camera is not functioning properly?

    this is my first time ever using a camera.....and I cant seem to find my manual right now......gonna have to dig a little.

    any help is appreciated.

    thanks

    one of my Wildlife Innovations cams had the infrared crap out on me during last season. I thought it was just moisture, then tried changing the batteries, then ultimately sent it back and got a free replacement. I never had to play with the settings though to make it work right off the bat, but Primos might be different. Hope its not the same problem I had!

    Test the cam at night. Double check all your programming. When you walk by it at night, you should see the LED's come on.Don't know anything about Primos cams, I have had excellent luck with Bushnell Trophy Cams and phenomanal excellent luck with Reconyx.

    Sounds like the camera has an issue. I'd check to see if it's still under warranty.

    My buddy is gonna look at it....he has the same kind. Hopefully he can figure something out since I still cant find my manual to figure out how to check the programming.

    I'll either get it straightened out soon or take it back to BPS.
