2. Check the batteries to make sure that they are new alkaline or lithium
AA batteries. See note above about short battery life.
3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “On” position and
not in the “Off” or “Setup” modes.
4. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your camera.
Bushnell recommends SanDisk® SD Cards up to 32GB (Ultra ® or
Extreme ® series for HD video) .
5. If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the
camera will not take images.
6. If you have used an SD card in another device before inserting it in your
NatureView HD Cam, you might want to try formatting the card using
the “Format” parameter in Setup mode (make sure you have backed
up any important files first, as formatting will erase all previous files). In
some cases, other devices may change the formatting of the SD card
so that it will not work properly with the NatureView HD Cam.
Camera won’t power up
1. Make sure that you have installed at least 4 batteries (the required
minimum #) in the battery compartment, starting at the top, filling
battery spaces 1-4 with no “gaps”.
Bushnell recommends using a full set of 12 Energizer® Lithium
AA batteries in your NatureView HD Cam.
2. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing proper
polarity. Always place the negative (flat) end of each battery in contact
with the spring side of its slot inside the camera.
3. After moving the switch from “Off” to “Setup” or “On”, make sure
that the switch is correctly in position to ensure the proper mode (avoid
positions “between” two modes).
4. Do not move the switch directly from “On” to “Setup”-always move
the switch all the way down to “Off” first, then back up to “Setup”.
Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems
1. Night photos or videos appear too dark
a. Check the battery indicator icon to see if battery power is full. The
flash will stop operating near the end of the battery life.
b. You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal
flash range, no farther than 60' (19m). Subjects may appear too dark
at greater distances.
c. Please note that when the Capture Number parameter is set higher
