    This happened to me not too long ago, and it was a goof up on my part. I somehow had it set on the time laps mode, and had it set to not take any pics. I dont ever use this setting, so dont know much about it, but it might be something for you to check.

    Take it back and buy a Bushnell, Coverts are 100% JUNK.

    Anytime I have a malfunction on any camera the first thing I do is try another card.

    Very true. If this doesn't work, you're already on the right path by contacting the manufacturer.

    I have to disagree. I haven't been able to get a Bushnell past the 2 year mark. They take great night pics though. My Coverts have been preforming better than ever.

    If the card reads 0000/0000 on the screen then you need to go to default. If it reads 0000/XXXX depending on the card size then it's probably a card issue.

    Sorry for the late reply I am on a quick vacation in WI salmon fishing. Default should fix you up. I can't promise your email got answered on Friday as we were super short handed at the office on Friday.
