    I have had the same trail camera for going on 4 seasons and never had any problems. When I checked the card after I pulled it for the first time this morning all of the pictures just say "INVALID PICTURE" on them. Does anyone have any experience or a guess as to what happened?

    Nevermind. I looked it up and its an X6c. Like I said- its been a great camera so far but I don't know what happened. I am hoping if something is messed up it is just the card..

    On that particular camera I do not know, but somewhere in the setup options on the cam there should be an option to format the SD card.

    Sounds like a bad card or maybe the batteries are getting low. Cams do funny things when they start losing voltage.
