Memory Card Problems

If your camera won't start up properly and/or displays a "card

error", first check to be sure your card is not "Locked". On

most SD cards there is a switch on the side of the card. If

the card is locked, you will not be able to save any photos.

If you have other issues, you may have to try a different brand of memory card.

We have found that some of the cheap memory cards are very slow (even if they

say they are fast) and do not always run well. RECONYX™ certified memory

cards are available at

NOTE: Memory cards 4GB and larger should be formatted with the FAT32

File System for use in your HyperFire™ camera. (See "Memory

Card File System Requirements" for further information.) 1GB and

2GB cards can be formatted FAT.

Cold Weather Problems

If your camera shuts down in the cold, it may be too cold for the batteries. Refer

to "Battery Specifications" for recommended battery types.

Extreme cold weather may have an adverse affect on the LCD display; this does

not inhibit the camera's ability to function.

Battery Life Less than Expected

NiMH batteries have decreased life in hot weather. They will run the camera, but

they will have decreased run time. It is not unusual to see battery life drop off

50% or more when daytime temperatures are near 90˚ Fahrenheit or higher. This

will not damage your NiMH batteries; their charge just runs down faster.

If you notice that when your batteries run down the night time illumination

decreases, you should change your batteries sooner and be sure to use fresh

Lithium or fully charged NiMH batteries.
