Default Question

I have used the Stealth 35 MM cameras for the last few years, but I just bought my first digital camera. (Moultrie Gamespy D40). I was just wondering, with the stealth cams, I had to really be careful of direction that I put the camera up. I couldnt put it up facing the setting sun, or the rising sun, because the sun would set the camera off. Is this still a big deal with the digitals? Will I have to be careful when setting up my Moultrie, to make sure not to set it up facing East or West?

I have the Moultrie IR40 and since using it I haven't had any issues with the direction. But anytime I can I try and set it up so the sun won't glare out any early morning or late evening pictures. I have to say that with this IR flash I have had awesome battery life and really great pictures.

i have one of my cuddes facing the sun and no problems.i think it has helped the battery life also because the other one i had out was almost dead and was not facing the sun. i put new batteries in them at the same time and the cold temps that we have had the last two weeks i didnt think even think either would still be alive.
