The problem: With fresh batteries and a reformatted SD card, the display continues to flash "FULL".

I called WGI's 800 customer service. Manual no longer available for this camera. The only "help" they offered was to use a Sandisk brand SD card. mad

It seems like I have every other brand card except Sandisk. I tried several different SD cards that work fine in SEVERAL other brand cameras, e.g., Primos, Stealth, etc. None work.

Anyone have a manual for this old camera or have a suggestion? Thanks.

Have you tried a factory reset on the camera? Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Keep after those folks at Wild Game Innovations. Get on their social media account and raise a little cane.

lol! I hear that. I just picked up a couple for practically nothing...and that appears to be what they're worth. I was looking at deer blinds in Jacksboro and they had a stack of them. I figured for $15 it was worth a shot. NOT

Try a smaller gig sd card. Older cameras might not be able to recognize larger gig cards. I had the same thing happen to me. Camera said it was 100% with an empty card. Card was to big for the camera to recognize. I put a smaller card in and it worked fine.

I have a suggestion......never buy anything that has "Wildgame" on it. I have bought and paid for experience to back up that statement.

I had a Wildgame camera once. I shot a full 30 round magazine of 5.56 into that piece of junk.


In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

They are great!.... to use as dummy cameras in open view with a good camera hidden to take pics of wildlife and any camera thiefs....

About 2 years ago I made a decision to never buy another Wild Game product again.

This may sound silly but did you re-format the sd card in the camera. I had a camera that I sometimes would re-format through my laptop and would get some gobidy goop when trying to view. I started re-formatting them in the camera and never since had a issue.

BHolt- On that model there’s no option to format the sad card in the game camera. All my Stealth cams do have that option and I do use it in those.

This is interesting, I really like my wildgame innovations cameras for the money. For an 16-18mp camera that is $60-$70 they are heard to beat.
I will never purchase a stealth cam though, those things S.U.C.K. Not user friendly and take absolutely terrible night time pics, and I have one now that takes pics all the time. Tree is way too big to sway, no grass in front, and it takes loads of empty pics.
