Camera not functioning properly
I have a GC-Z4GB linked through Verizon that is acting funny. I currently have the camera set on 0s trigger interval with a 3 shot burst. I've noticed 2 issues:
1) I'll receive 1 picture, not the three shot burst. The groups before and after will be hours different and contain the 3 shots.
2) The trigger interval does not seem to be accurate. I'll have multiple pictures with as many as 9 deer centered in the frame then I wont get any pictures. At a 0s interval, I believe something is not working properly.

I believe the firmware is up to date, but honestly I'm not 100% sure how to see that I have the latest and greatest firmware installed. But I have signed in, gone to camera management, and firmware update. Currently Im showing a date of 7/3/2019 and it is green. Under "action" it is listed as current.
As for the SD card I'm not 100% sure but I will check it next time I'm near the camera. Can you restate the recommended size, class, etc? I do know it is a full size card. Not a micro with adapter.
The camera not resetting until the pictures are sent is a little frustrating. One situation I can see is deer chasing and I'm going to have three pictures of a doe and the camera is going to be trying to send pictures as the buck comes through. Would I be better off doing 1 shot on 0s interval? Is there any update in the works for the camera to be able to create a backlog of pictures to be sent so it doesn't completely shut the camera down while it send pictures?

You want a Sandisk Sd card, 16gb, class 10 and speed of 80mbs or higher (32gb is ok but I prefer the 16gb). Be careful buying off of Amazon or Ebay, there's a lot of fake cards out there. The Spartan Ghost has batch sending, you set up the times it sends you the pictures (or videos) and with a zero delay it will take pictures as fast as 4 or 5 seconds apart. Sounds like your firmware should be fine.
