Three days ago I decided to switch to video and shorten the delay time to it's minimum of 5 seconds.
I left it for two days and when I checked yesterday I found that the card was full of empty videos so I brought it back to do some tests.
I discovered that when set to the 5 second delay the camera was shooting a video every 10 seconds without being triggered and the same when shooting stills.
After a bit of experimentation I found that above a delay time of 15 seconds it seemed to be working normally, while in between about 10 and 15 seconds it would occassionally fire without being triggered.
This would seem to be an electronic component tolerance problem which has developed over time as it performed ok from new until now; and my guess is that it may have been brought about by the sub zero temperatures which have been down to -14C.
If anyone reading this has experienced similar problems with this or any other model or make of trailcam, I would be interested to hear what they have found.
I'm going to set the camera out on a deer trail today and see how it perfoms with a 15 second delay time.
