Is it possible to select the type of photos it takes...such as jpg, bitmap, etc...maybe it is set on something other than jpeg...just an idea since I don't have a Moultrie....

what kind of SD card are you using? Size, brand, etc...

I think it has something to do with the settings on your camera when you format the card. Mine did that too. I just reformated the card in my camera and then it was fine. I wish I could remember the settings that it was on. Sorry but good luck.

Its a Kingston micro sd
I put the same card in my other I40 and it was compatible
I beleive it has something to do with the moultrie setting, but I dont know where that is.

Have you tried contacting Moultrie? I'm sure they have an answer for you. Try calling them. Also, I find most companies respond quickly to emails when phone contact isn't possible.

Moultrie settings

If anything, try setting the camera back to default or factory settings. In my D-40, I just pop a blank SD 1 gig card in the camera and it's good to go. I take pictures, then pop the card into my little Pentax digital camera and view them right there in the woods. This way I know what is being photographed, if I should leave the camera or re-position it.

Game Camera

I had a problem a few weeks back. My buddy (dave) let me borrow his Moultrie and we put it out on a fence line and went back a week later. When we checked the card it showed no deer. I think his camera is broke, cause there should have been some deer on it. I don't know how to tell him? (maybe he'll ready this)

Balky - the trail camera works but it isn't magic!! Lots of pictures in my spots! Some have even caused me to lose sleep. I guess you are losing sleep but for other reasons - NO DEER...

Camera

I guess that it is possible that the camera isn't broken. I woould have bet money that there was going to be many pics at that spot.

I can't wait to help you drag the 13 pts non-typical out

Here's an idea

Here is an idea to check if the camera is working, set it up and walk in front of it. This will help test trigger speed, sensor strength, etc. If it doesn't take pics of you walking past, it is definitely broken.

I wouldn't use a micro SD card. Sometimes when you use the adapter they don't work right. If I were you, I'd purchase a couple regular SDHC cards and use those.

 

[cpeters]

I have the I-40 and find no mention that is supports SDHC cards.....does it?

I use regular 2 gig SD cards in mine.

That's all I use are the SDHC cards. They work wonderful.

what brand and size do you use??

 

[HoytHunter4]

I use Sandisk 2GB sd card. I purchased 2 of them that way when I go to check my camera I can just swap them out and leave the camera there. Works great!

 

[Grizz859]

Just dont understand why it worked in my first I40 and not my second

 

[jbo3]

Put the card in your PC.

Right click on it in my computer, then click "format" and be sure it says "fat32". Then let it do the formatting and try again.

There are no options on the i40 to choose what type of file to save it as. It is always .jpg unless you are doing movies, then that will be .avi, again.. no choice to change that.

Speaking of that. are you sure you didn't put it in movie mode?

what brand and size do you use??

I have Kingston 4 gig SDHC cards as well as Sandisk 4 gig SDHC cards. Work perfectly.

your old camera may of not had the updated software. i had cameras up last year and could see everything fine on my cam. i then did the updates on these cameras from their website and now they show up super small. call moultrie and they said that the software is not compatible with my camera. so, i'm guessing the update is why mine no longer can be read by my camera. you can run through your options on your trail cam to see if the updates are the same.
