    My father in law, bought a mp6 and we've had it out for a month, and today we pulled the card. And to our surprise there was no pictures. We have been messing with different settings and can't get it to take any pictures. Was wondering if anyone had a similar issue and know how to fix it or if we have to send it back. I even tried the time lapse setting and let it set for 5 minutes. At 5 sec time lapse I got no pictures.

    Thanks, evilstuff

    Worth shot, but take the batteries all out for a few 5-10 minutes, put them back in, turn to "set up" making sure your settings are OK, then turn it back "OFF" , then all the way up to "ON".

    Hello everyone,
    I'm Evilstuff's father inlaw. Just thought I would give you an update on the Covert MP6 cam. I ended up sending it in. They got it and checked it over and sent it back out the same day!! Come to find out they said it was the memory card? I formatted it and everything appeared okay. But they even sent me 2 new SD cards. I ried it and it works great. Something so simple. I never thought to try another SD card. Just wanted to let you all know what the fix was. thanks for your help and good luck this season!

    I was going to say the memory card but read the post late.

    Glad you got it taken care of though!

    Same here, I always format each card change.

    I had a similar problem and pulled the batteries for a few minutes and then reset to default settings. After resetting, the camera has been working fine.

    glad it was taken care of. The company takes care of the customer and makes sure everything is doing as it should. I will not buy another brand again.... not even going to mention the quality of the product.
