Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems

1.   Night photos appear too dark

a.  Try using a set of new batteries. The flash will stop operating 

near the end of the battery life. 

b.  You will get the best results when the subject is within the 

ideal flash range, no farther than 30’ from the camera. Subjects 

may appear too dark at greater distances.

2.   Daytime photos appear too dark

a.  Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other 

light sources during the day, as this may cause the auto exposure 

to produce darker results. 

3.   Night photos appear too bright

a.  You will get the best results when the subject is within the 

ideal flash range, no closer than 10’ (3m) from the camera. 

Subjects may appear too light at closer distances.

4.   Daytime photos appear too bright

a.  Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other 

light sources during the day.

b.  If this is seen on a consistent basis, then the sensor may need 

servicing. Please contact Simmons customer service.
