slughunter Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I am starting to get really frustrated with this stupid thing, its not working right at all. the pictures are either blurry or to bright and sometimes the camera forgets to flash. These pictures show what I mean. There are 3 deer in this picture, see if you can find the third one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: New Leaf River Pics I posted this in the other thread - from the manual daylight pictures are too white 1 - make sure flash is set to automatic 2 - EV - exposure value may be set too high -- reduce 3 - camera may be pointed at the sun, point away from sun ( some of your pics looks like its pointed into the sun) don't know if this helps ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: New Leaf River Pics I don't know anything about those cameras but, like Lewis said: [ QUOTE ] 3 - camera may be pointed at the sun, point away from sun ( some of your pics looks like its pointed into the sun) [/ QUOTE ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstringking Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: New Leaf River Pics it deff does look like the camera is directed towards the sun. the night flash is from it being to powerful. i would call LR and ask if they have any suggestions. then report to us on their customer service.

Last time i put mine up most my pics were ruined because i had it pointing towars the sun. But those night pics i have the same problem.

IowaDeerHunter Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: New Leaf River Pics Ok, I used to have this same problem, and contacted leaf river, it only ended up being my white balance. Check your white balance, if is about 1, set it to zero. Try it. If at zero set a little in the negative or try covering the flash with duct tape. Sometimes that extra flash range they try to get you is obviously not very beneficial when the deer are up close. So try coverin about 2/3 of it, 1/3 on each side. It may sound like a lot but it has done us a lot of good. Hope this helps, if not I would contact leaf river. It might even be beneficial to take the camera out, set up up outside and test it in the dark by walking in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: New Leaf River Pics Your white balance is off shane, that is also why your pics were washed out in the flash pics in your other thread. Look in your manual for instructions on how to set it. Might also consider changing the batteries. Have had a few shots at night where my flash did not work when my batteries got low. If you still cannot get it, give the guys at vibrashine a call like Todd suggests. They will help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slughunter Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: New Leaf River Pics I know for a fact it wasnt pointed to the sun becasue I made sure to point it away and when the pictures were taken it was a clowdy day here. I just need to turn down the white balance and get new batteries. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
