So it's quite possible that whatever critter triggered the photo never stepped into frame.

You need to put it either pointing north or south.
Thats what happened to my trail cam when I first put it out.
I hope this helps.
Both of these things could be the problem as well as foilage moving in front of the cam. I don't think I would change the sensitivity in the summer. With the higher temps the camera needs a little more sensitivity.
