Swamphunter Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Once a cam has been set up and activated, and you need to take it down for some reason other than removing the film, can it be switched to off and sit idle for a few days without messing anything up other than the time delay and amount of pics taken during an "event"? I have been using mine to photograph the raccoons eating my garbage each night just to get some experience with it and now am ready to bring it back to the woods. I shut the camera completely off and when I did the flash triggered and then it powered down. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Stealth Cam question... Just be sure to load your film in the test position......but ya, you do lose count doing that...I doubt out in the woods you will do that.

wtnhunt Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Stealth Cam question... You will also lose a couple of frames. You should have truned it to standby Ken. When you trun it back on the film will advance like it is winding a new roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
