I agree with rh160kid. I had similar problems with the flash whiting out the pics during the day. The tree canopy can be shady enough to force a cam with the flash on "auto" to go off on every pic even though it is the middle of the day and there seems to be enough light to not force the flash. That being said, try it with the flash on "off" (yeah, you will lose night time pics), but at least you might have a better idea as to what might be causing the problem.
