Camera Problem?

[Lion10s]

Early in the morning (6-8 am) and late in the evening (7-8 pm) all I get is white pics. I can see deer outlined in the background but almost a solid white pic. Appreciate any help.

It's called overexposure from the sun. My WGI does it unless it's in an area shaded from the sun.

Check to see if your cam is pointed East or West. If so, turn it due North or South.

Already thought of that. It's a WGI, and it's pointed straight north. I've got it about 7 feet slightly angled down.

It's a WGI

That'd be the problem. I've found mine to do better in the winter though.

Now that you mentioned it, I do get great pics in the winter. Any advise other than get another brand?

Unfortunately, that's another example of "you get what you pay for." Higher-end cameras have the ability to adjust for the white-out image situation. What is happening is, at dawn and dusk, the camera senses there isn't enough light to take a daylight color picture, so it switches to infra-red. Yet there is still way too much daylight to take an infra-red picture causing the image to be completely over-exposed (white-out).

Some cameras have a the ability to take grey-light pictures without over-exposing them.

I really should have kept my mouth shut when I told you my cheap cams never mess up. Out of 177 pics my WGI took 157 white-out pics

Worst part is I put it where my favorite buck stays thinking it was my best cam :crazy:

I would assume you are talking about the white-flash Tascos. Those shouldn't take white-out pictures. Instead they will just flash even though it doesn't have to.
