I don't cover any of the sensor. In my experience - the field of veiw with the Stealth camera is very wide, and while some of my deer are in the perimeter of the picture - most are reasonably centered.

I'd suggest that if the picture you are trying to take is less than 10 ft from the camera - then maybe you would try covering the sensor some.

This must be what happened to mine, I thought I was gonna get some great photos cause the counter said it had some on there I though. After going to the 1 hr photo the lady told me it was blank. If you do get the E how do you fix it?

RE: Game cam Tips and Tricks
 

To get the E off you have to reload the film. Sometimes you may have to pull more out or rewind it a little.

I have been using the "cheap" Stealths for a couple of years know, I love them. They are very afordable. Couple of points I can donate are:

1. If in bear country use a hot pepper on the outside to distract them from eating your camera, this usually helps.
2. Weeds and sunlight are not the only things that will set your camera off, flys also do. Use alittle bug spray on the sensor lense.
3. Aim camera to the north.
4. If over bait, 1 picture every 15-20 min. Trails, 1 pic. every minute.
5. No sense locking the camera to the tree, you just waste money, it will be gone anyway.
6. Deer are not 6 ft. tall, keep camera low, 2 feet max. height.

By the way the camera will not take any pictures if it reads "E" and it will not have any sort of number on it either, if it says "E" that means the film is not loaded, period. You have to reload it.

Trust me, I go thru between 60-80 rolls of film in my 6 Stealths a year. Good luck !!;)

CrabClaw10: What do you mean by "it will not have any sort of number on it either"?

My StealthCam loads right and the test coverage area is great...however, when I went to retrieve it yesterday all I saw on the screen was a 1. Counter also read 1. There is no way that only one thing went by the camera in a week. I have it set on a very busy trail crossing. When I rewound the film it seemed like it was rewinding more than just one photo. I am going to set it off on purpose to see if the darned thing will advance past one.....

Do any of you have problems with constantly getting rodents and nusiance animals in your pics, like raccoons, squirrels, and crows? I've turned the sensitivity down on mine, and I'm still getting a lot of pics of things I don't want or need to see.

RE: Game cam Tips and Tricks
 

? How do you do that? Id love to set the sensitivity on mine way up , seems when testing it its hard to get to go off inless your RIGHT infront of it! Ive got the 58$ wal-mart stealth cam.

I have Leaf River Trail Scan cameras, and they have a sensitivity dial right on them.

You must have some small deer there!:D I keep mine at 4 feet (measure from the lens) and it works out great.
