Covert problem.

So I purchased a Black 60 about a month ago and got it set up in a spot where it would be taking videos. After a couple of weeks I switched out cards and found a problem once I started scanning through Vids. The cam was set up to have a 20 second video and was doing just that in the daytime. Once it got dark the videos turned to 3-5 second videos that were impossible to even watch.

Im guessing this is a problem with the camera since that short video would be useless. Am I missing something in the set up menu or is there a problem with the camera?

 

Your batteries don't have enough juice to run video mode and the flash at the same time. I bought the battery extender from Custom1enterprises and run mine on 20 batteries. Looks like I'll get at least 4 months out of one set of batteries and probably more.

 

yes it is the batteries i have 3 60 blk all will do this with low and weak batteries

 

Okay thanks. They were brand new batteries but Ill look into the battery extender.

 

Seems like thise would be the issue^^^ have you emailed covert yet about the issue?

 

Sorry the Covert email guy was out of the office recovering his KY buck today But like others said batteries would be the issue I run 15 second videos with a 45 second delay and the ir's set on half :D

 

What size SD card are you using and about how many video's do you get on it before it's full? Also, what video quality setting are you using, assuming the better quality uses more room??

 

I use 8 GB cards and have yet to fill one and have had as many as 500

I run it on 720P the higher setting (1080) seems to have some motion blur.

 

I'd send them a note...maybe they can get this fixed. :joke: Hehehe
