Hey all, thanks in advance. I’ve got an M100, I’ve had it for about 3 years. The first season was fine. Pulled the camera and it didn’t get used for a while. Put it back out last year, and I forgot and left it in the woods all spring/summer (it stays in a Moultrie lock box). When I took it out of course the batteries were long dead and ants had infiltrated the box. I cleaned it all up, didn’t see any indication that ants had penetrated the camera. I started running it again about three weeks ago. It ran 2 weeks on rechargeable batteries, then it seemed to be taking intermittent pictures and some of the exposures in low light were bad. I swapped the batteries out for fresh Duracell’s last Saturday, opened the camera this morning and it’s showing only 20% battery life left. Looks like time/date also went crazy on it. Is there a fix, should I get a new camera, or?
And not to get into a Ford/Chevy kind of discussion, but what cameras tend to be the most durable? Did my handling of the camera cause this issue?
