* The auto-adjustable flash power feature minimizes over exposed images and video clips by automatically detecting the
distance the target is from the camera during each trigger and adjusting the flash power / strength accordingly.
** The very fast recovery time allows for unlimited multi-shot / burst mode using the Strobe / Xenon flash - as long as the target
is triggering the camera's PIR. This ground-breaking feature now offers unlimited, Strobe / Xenon flash quality images (no
motion blur) in quick succession. Preliminary testing has produced 8 x Burst-mode Strobe / Xenon flash quality images in
10 seconds - something previously impossible to achieve from any previous camera trap model.
