low batteries and number of pics taken
It seems that the lower that batteries get on my cams thefewer pics they take. Do others find the same thing happening? Happening now both on my Cuddeback Excite & Bushnell Trail Sentry.

RE: low batteries and number of pics taken
When my battery get'slow my Cuddy just starts snapping pics until the batteries are completely dead. When this happens there are no deer in the photo. I suggest to always use the best batteries and change them frequently when it is cold out.

RE: low batteries and number of pics taken
my Cudde Excite actually says "batt. failed". but then I turn it off and back on, it will show batt level 1 and take some more pics (only a few though). last time it did this 3-4 times before totally dead. My Bushnell was taking 25-70 pics every 2-4 days but now is only getting a couple in same time period. I just figured that the batteries were starting to die.

I've had cameras take many extra picture and some cameras take fewer pictures when the batteries get low. I even had them quit taking pictures and then start again a couple of days later, which probably was influenced by the temperature as well as low battery power.

RE: low batteries and number of pics taken
Yes, the low battery and temp. both affect the number of pictures taken. I find that it takes alot more pics when it is fairly warm, and it has a full battery. I have seen ours not take any pics with a low battery.
