Resetting the Moultrie A-5 Game Camera

Troubleshoot the issue and see if we can get it working properly:

Check the Camera Mode:
Make sure the camera is not in Handheld mode. If it is, switch it to Auto mode. The camera won't take pictures if the SD card is in Protect mode.

Review Settings:
Confirm that the camera is powered on.
Check if it's set to take photographs when it detects motion or if it's in time-lapse mode.

Perform an IR Filter Reset:
Take your camera into a completely dark room.
Walk or wave in front of the camera to trigger it to take a picture.
Turn on the lights and trigger the camera to take another picture.
Repeat this process 6 to 8 times. This will reset the IR filter, and better photos should be on the way.

Check the Viewing Screen:
Moultrie game cameras have a built-in viewing screen. Ensure that the screen is functioning properly.

If the display screen continues to show "snap" without capturing images or videos, consider contacting Moultrie customer support for further assistance.

According to the Moultrie Game Spy D-555i 8 Megapixel Digital Game Camera instruction manual, in order to reset the security code, you will need to contact Moultrie customer support at 800-653-3334.

I have Same problem with same camera. I called Moultrie they told me to hard reset and walked me through steps. I am going to try it out when i get home. Hope it works or they will be hearing back from me

HARD RESET TAKE OUT BATTERIES AND SD CARD, TURN IT TO THE ON POSITION FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES WITH NOTHING IN IT. AFTER 2-3 MIN PUT BATTERIES BACK IN WHILE WITH THE ON POSITION IT SHOULD SAY NO CARD. ONCE IT SAYS THAT TURN OFF THE CAMERA PUT THE SD CARD BACK IN TURN THE CAMERA BACK ON AND TEST IN THE DARK. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK SEND IT IN FOR REPAIRS TO MOULTRIE.

Do you have the camera set east or west? If you do you need to move to North or South if still not working do a hard reset turn off camera take out battery's and sd card push the button on/off button for about 5 seconds. Then put battery's back in leave the sd card out turn the camera on it should say no card. Once it says that turn camera off then put sandisk sdhc nothing higher than a class 4 speed of the card not the size. Then test camera again if still having the issue call Moultire 8006533334 option 1 and 1 for a live person.

Try doing a hard reset, Turn camera off remove battery's and sd card. With everything out. Push on/off for about 5 sec. Put good battery's in ig. If you using cheap battery's make sure your are using Duracell or Engerzier battery's not rechargeable. Also make sure not using a micro sd card and nothing higher than a class 4 which is the speed of the card not the size. If still need help call with equipment to troubleshoot to Moultire 800653334 option 1 and 1 for a live person.

Does the flash work? Could be flash circuit or day/night sensor.If you have another D40/D50 camera that flash works but has other problems,swap out the sensors.If not the sensor but the flash circuit then most likely one of the large charge capacitors which has to be soldered in.I use a digital multimeter with I/O capacitor test function..these caps should be about 250mfd.

we get beutiful day pics, but totally black pics at night
