Goofs

When "Hunter" shows the game camera pictures to Mr. Kaplan, the zoom aspect on the camera changes for several. For example, the last one showing Reddington is a closeup of him, while most of the others are from a standard point of view. While he had several cameras, he only showed Kaplan the pictures from one. Additionally, each photo has 1/1 caption in the lower left corner, indicating each was one of one on the camera. If so, there would only have been one photo. This reveals the photos and captions were digitally created for this particular scene.
