I was given one of these for Christmas, my problem is I've put it out twice and both times the camera has taken continuos pictures. The first time, I set it to take a picture every thirty seconds which it did, the second time I set it to take a picture every two minutes. Again it took a picture every two minutes. Needless to say the batterys are about dead when I check it. Any ideas ?

Dont skimp on the batteries get energizers or duracells the cheap batteries will wear out in a day. Also how long have u waited till u checked if u have checked it twice since christmas that might not be too bad. Mine has been out since jan 1 and i have taken almost 1200 pics day and night and one full week of videos with almost 100 30 sc. videos. Video will drain it was fast though.
