I tested it out this morning, I had my two kids walk by it, one was in the house it was black & white, and the other was taken outside it was in color, pictures came out perfect. But I had a brand new pack of batteries sitting my my garage (not heated) so I put them in, but then I got the message once more "IF SD CARD IS INSTALLED, ERASE INTERNAL MEMORY" could it be if the batteries are cold there is so sort of connection problem?
