woolybear Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sounds like your film isn't loading right. it's showing you it's empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yep, the film is not loading right. Sometimes those stealth cams are a little picky about getting the film started. You will have to open the camera up and reload it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yep, that's what I keep thinking too. That was the one thing I had problems with with those cams. I used to put a little fold in the film so it was sure to grab it right as it advanced. Otherwise it will just lay there and go no-where, and the camera will say "E" (empty) The other thing is to make sure you switch the cam to "Test mode" every time you are setting things up inside, and then back to "ON" when you are done.

layin on the smackdown Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 You are going to have to manually roll (pull) the film back out, and try and reload it...Are you sure the batteries aren't going dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hunt or be Hunted said: but its feeding the film. how am i going to get it out? Dark closet, just be careful not to rewind the film all the way into the cannister and try not to handle the actual film too much. Had issues with my stealthcam before it went completely out. For the last probably 20 or so rolls I had to manually rewind the film in a closet. It would wind but not rewind. It eventually quit all together.

buckee Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Manual Rewind: - if desired the film may be removed from the camera before the entire roll has been exposed. - Switch camera to the "TEST" position -Press the manual rewind button. -Remove film when rewinding is completed ..... or in this case, reset the starting end of the film roll, as if you were putting a new roll in. You may lose a few pictures, if any are on the film, but all is not lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
