Dual Sony Camera Trap

[matteo]

Hi Jeff,
I like to build up a camera trap with a sony a6000 for stills. My doubts with this camera is the "long" wake-up time from about 1-1.5sec. Can you solve this problem, or do I have to live with this "issue" & maybe look for another camera?
Thanks & regards
Matt

Hi Matt .......Thanks for joining the forum.

The a6000 is a great camera but it's like most other mirrorless cameras, it will take almost two seconds after motion detection to acquire an image or start video. There is no way around it as far as I know. To help accommodate this you can place remote motion sensors away from the camera to hopefully wake the camera before the animal gets to your target area. If you are looking for quick wake up a DSLR is hard to beat.
