3. BirdCam takes an unusually high number of empty images
(without birds) in AUTO mode.
Suggestions:
Some empty images are inevitable. Empty images most commonly
result from birds flying past the BirdCam without landing or, in rare
cases, movement of the feeder itself. If the ratio of empty images to
images with birds is unusually high, try the following...
• DECREASE the SENSITIVITY setting.
• DECREASE the #PHOTOS/EVENT setting.
• Position the BirdCam to minimize open area behind the
target (eg - aim at feeder against a wall or seed on the ground).
This should reduce the number of 'fly-by' triggers.
4. Photos or Videos are too dark or too light.
Suggestion:
As with any automatic camera, the BirdCam's image quality
depends on many variables, such as the source and intensity of
light. During dawn and dusk, it is normal for the BirdCam to take
some dark images.
Ideal light conditions are shade or indirect sunlight.
If your images are poorly exposed in all conditions, please contact
customer support.
