RE: 35 mm stealth
I have one of these cameras too, (actually going on my 4th one) I think you are talking about after you put the film in, the letter E comes up? If thats what you are talking about, it means that the film did not load right. When the film is loaded right, you should see a 0 I think. I know on mine, I have always had to push down really hard on the door after I close it, to get the teeth to advance the film.

RE: 35 mm stealth
Hey good luck! Is this a new camera? If it is, I can give another little hint that helped my pictures out alot. YOu wil notice that the trigger speed is very slow with these cameas, so you will get alot of but shots, or half of a deer, or no deer at all. What I did, was to put a strip of electrical tape on each side of the motion senser. I covered up about a half inch on each side, and that made it so the deer were usually in the center of the picture, and not way over to one side. Good Luck, and have fun with it. It like Christmas everytime you go check your camera.

RE: 35 mm stealth
that is correct on the E...make sure you put the film over correctly and you should hear it catch.......in very cold weather or windy weather i do sometimes tend to catch deer a little too late.......best thing to do is to set it up facing down or up a trail...not cutting the trail..the trigger speed is not (usually) that fast...if you set it up right you should not have any problems with getting pics...
