Hi,
Having used the Bushnell E2 trophy cam and had no problems I recently purchased an E3 trophy cam. I am having issues with over exposure of the flash. I have tried it in a few different locations and where the field of view is open with no obstructions it performs fine but if there is a slope of ground or denser vegetation in the field of view it is over exposing. I have never had this problem before. I expect the flash has been designed to cover the max area in a field situation but I am looking at using them in a forest situation and this is a real issue. Does anyone know of a way to tone down the flash at all.

I have not used Bushnell camera traps for quite a while, so this may not apply, but most makes have a flash intensity adjustment. If you have already tried that without success then opaque or translucent tape over the LEDs will do the same job.

We have used cut pieces of translucent milk jug plastic to make a flash attenuator. Stack as many as you need to reduce exposure and tape on.

Hi @LucyHReaserRe I've found a couple of layers or three of athletic/sports tape does the trick. This kind of thing:
Good luck,
