Yeah, mine is doing the same thing i think. I haven't left it out for a day, just been trying to get it to work. It's taking one picture when I turn it on then looks like it goes to sleep and even when I try to wake it up it just goes back to sleep 5 seconds later. I found an option in setup that says 1d but I think I read in the instruction guide that it was just to label which camera number it is so that when you plug in the card you know which camera took it.

If the camera doesn't' have an on/off button it has switches and you need to set it to auto and take it off the off switch button.

HARD RESET TAKE OUT BATTERIES SD CARD PUSH THE ON OFF BUTTON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS LEFT EVERYTHING OUT FOR 2-5 MINUTES. THEN PUT THE BATTERY BACK IN TURN THE CAMERA ON IT SHOULD SAY NO CARD. THEN TURN IT OFF THEN PUT THE SD CARD BACK AND TRY IT IN THE DARK AREA TO SEE IF THE FLASH WILL GO OFF. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK WILL NEED TO SEND IT IN FOR REPAIRS.

I just fixed this problem on my new A-5. I had to take out the SD card, put it in my card reader and reformat the card on my computer. I just put it back in my A-5 trail camera and now it works and is counting down like it's supposed to.

I do not have an answer, but do have the same camera with the same night time problem. I have just used it for the first time and all the night pictures are black. I assume the flash is not going off. I have a second one that I will test as well. Maybe some one knows something else but I find now way to toggle the flash off and on.

Leave the batteries out overnight should remove all programming. www.trailcampro.com/trailcamerasupport.aspx
