I have three of the Moultrie Game Spy D55-IR trail cameras. When set for video, the camera takes a picture first, then the video. Doing several tests to confirm, I noticed the field of view in the video much narrower than in the picture. I emailed Moultrie with that question. There response and I quote, "it is to do with the resolution it down loads differently". Moultrie was very quick replying to my email (great customer service).
I have 1 of the D-55 IR camera's..it takes some pretty good pictures...much better than the I-35 I bought earlier.My 2 I-60 camera's are the best I have so far from Moultrie....good night-time pic's and very nice day/color pictures.
I thought it takes the video's then a still picture....or at least I think my I-60's are in that order?So far I haven't tried the D-55IR on the video mode.
It makes perfect sense to me. The jpg is going to be a larger file than each individual frame in a video.

I bought the IR-55 last season .
Takes very nice day pics , but takes getting use to the black and white night pic,s.
Battery life is GREAT .All season with 2 sets of battery,s (12 c-cells)
Yeah...its great to have the IR Camera's...but those black and white pictures stink when You get those Nocturnal Bucks with no color pictures to show or brag about!
I had a Bobcat walk by my camera the other night...sad part is that again...its black and white on a really cool Predator!
