I recall reading in the little manual that it supports up to 32GB. I've |
| 23 |
never tried it before so it may be that the camera does but their tech |
| 24 |
support doesn't for some reason. At first, we bought two 32GB cards. I |
| 25 |
would go out and remove the cards, bring them home to download the pics |
| 26 |
and then take them back. After a while, I got tired of the walking. I |
| 27 |
could tell that 32GB was a bit . . . large. I got 8GB cards to save |
| 28 |
walking. I go out in the woods, swap cards and come back to take pics |
| 29 |
off the cards. Next time, I swap out again. It saves me one trip most |
| 30 |
days. Of course, I feed the deer to so sometimes I end up with a second |
| 31 |
trip. Usually I put water in the water bucket. They drink a good bit |
| 32 |
after eating salt out of the mineral site. Not to mention the |
| 33 |
occasional observation of the backside of a raccoon getting a drink. |
| 34 |
Usually we see the tails sticking up when the water level is a bit low. |
| 35 |
Sort of funny really. LOL |

Anyway, the 8GB cards have been plenty large enough so it could be any |
| 38 |
number of reasons they say the limit is 32GB. It could be they know it |
| 39 |
will run out of file names. Most pics are named with four digit |
| 40 |
numbers. So, 9,999 files and it either stops taking pics or starts |
| 41 |
overwriting the files. I haven't done the math. |

I just thought of something. The video camera doesn't have a format |
| 44 |
function. I use a old camera that is broken to format it. It doesn't |
| 45 |
take pics anymore but the display works and it formats fine. Now I can |
| 46 |
format them all without having to squint. ROFL |

I'm still waiting on my glasses. The lens takes a while. Special |
| 49 |
material and it takes extra steps to get it right. At $600, they better |
| 50 |
make me see much better. O_O |
