Ok I have been having my camera take what looks like black and white pictures all day long ;-( I just went and got my pics and it took about 600 in a week but I would say 90% of them are not in color, I just bought it this past winter so its a newer one, and the pics are taken during the day time no matter if its sunny out or cloudy. any ideas what the problem might be??

I have not tried that yet, but I did call tech support yesterday, the guy told me to take the camera out and take a pic manually and see if it clicks, see if the guard comes down for the color pic, he said that even tho the sun is out and its obviously bright sometimes the cameras dont sense it and I might have to move camera in a brighter place, I got to thinking, I have it in a lock box screwed to the tree, I wonder if the lock box might be blocking the sensor??????? I sure hope not, cause if it wasn't for that lock box I wouldn't have a camera, I have a 7ft black bear and two cubs that have already tried to damage it ;-(

What kind of lock box are you using?
I'd bring it home and set it up in the backyard (without lockbox)and see what it does for 24hours.
If it's still shooting IR then pulled the batteries overnight and try again.
If it's still messed up i'd have them replace it.
