All 3 of mine and one of my friends does it sporadically. I believe the shutter is staying open too long during the daylight hours and allowing too much light in. If you notice, most of the washout pics are blurred also, which led me to this conclusion. My buddy called Moultrie and said there is nothing they could do about it. All in all, IMO, still worth the price. I have hundreds of good pics this year. The new 3.1 is out for $179. It is 3.1 megapixel has a more sensitive sensor and quicker trigger speed. It also has temp and moon phase imprinted on each pic. I'll probably go that route instead of anymore 1.3's
