Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell® 3.2 MP ImageView™!
Your ImageView “digital binocular” is ideal for all sporting events and nature

Quick Start Guide
The camera is powered by two AAA batteries (not included). Slide the battery cover open (see arrow on 1.
cover) and insert batteries, using the polarity marks inside for reference. A battery indicator on the lower
left corner of the display indicates remaining power.
The camera has 16 MB of internal memory, so you can take photos anytime without using a card. To be 2.
able to take more photos without having to stop and download them frequently, you may use SD cards
(not MMC cards) up to 32 GB capacity. Insert a new SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing
up) in the slot. The card will click into place. Push the card in slightly to release and remove it. Turn o
the camera’s power before inserting or removing a card. Cards that have been previously used in other
devices should be formatted by the camera before taking photos (see “Review Mode”: Format)
Pull the LCD display up to viewing position, by grasping the indented areas on each side. Briey press 3.
the POWER button. The red power LED will turn on, and the LCD will display a “Bushnell” logo, then go
to black (to conserve battery life). Press the Display button to turn the LCD back on. Pressing Display
again will rst turn o all screen icons, then turn the entire display o (camera power remains on). The
entire camera will automatically turn o after one minute if it has been inactive (no buttons pressed).
This can be changed, using the “Auto O” option in the camera’s menu. To turn the camera o manually,
briey press the POWER button. The default camera settings will provide optimum quality under most
conditions, but you may want to set the date since it will be imprinted on photos by default (you can also
turn it o using the menu options).
To set the current date and time for imprinting, press 4. MENU. Press the Down arrow key 7 times to
highlight “CLOCK SET”, then press MENU again. Now set the Year, Month, Date, Hour, and Minute, using
the Up/Down arrow keys to make changes, and the Right key to move to the next eld. Once the date
& time have been set, press the MENU button again. Press the Down arrow key once to highlight “DATE
STAMP”, press MENU, then highlight your preference: Month/Day/Year or Year/Month/Day order, or select
“OFF” if you don’t want to imprint the date on your photos. Press MENU to conrm your setting, then
keep pressing the down arrow key to highlight “Exit”. Press MENU again to return to the “live” preview
4
display. Note: you may need to reset the date/time after changing batteries.
To take a still photo, hold the camera steady with both hands and press the 5. SNAP button. The camera
focus is preset to take sharp photos from approximately 35 feet to “innity”. To shoot a video, press the
right arrow key three times until the red movie camera icon appears at the top right corner of the display
(see below). You can then start shooting the video at any time by pressing SNAP. To stop recording the
video, press SNAP again. Note: if the power is turned o, then back on, the camera will return to still photo
mode.
When using a tripod, you can help avoid the eects of camera shake by plugging the supplied remote 6.
shutter release into the jack above the SD card slot, and using the button on the remote rather than
SNAP to take photos.
To review or playback a still photo or video, press the 7. View button. You will see the most recent still
photo or video (rst frame). To review previous photos or videos one at a time, press the Left arrow key.
The top left corner of the display will indicate “AVI” instead of “JPG” if the le is a video. The le number
is shown on the lower left of the display, and the resolution (of still photos) or length in seconds (for
videos) is shown on the right. To play back a video, press the SNAP button (press again to stop playback).
To see “thumbnail” images of multiple stored photos/videos at once, press the Display button. Use the
Left/Right arrow keys to select an individual le, then press Display again to see it full frame. To delete
a photo or video, press MENU. “DELETE ONE” is the rst option in the PLAY menu (only the currently
displayed photo/video will be deleted-use “FORMAT” if you want to delete all les from memory). Press
MENU again, then the Up arrow key to highlight OK. Press MENU to delete the photo or video, then press
View to return to the review screen. Press View again to switch to the live preview screen when you are
ready to take more photos or videos.
Your ImageView is ready to use right away- it is not necessary to “go into the menu” before taking photos.
However, your percentage of successful photos (especially under less than ideal conditions) will increase if
you read the rest of this manual and understand how to use the available options and settings, as well as the
section covering “Downloading the Photos & Videos to Your PC”.

the arrow, setting it aside. Insert 2 AAA Alkaline or Lithium batteries into the
compartment in the direction indicated by the polarity marks inside, then
replace the cover and slide it back into place until it clicks. Note: Rechargeable

Using the Internal Memory and SD Cards
The camera’s 16 MB internal memory can store from a minimum of only 3-4 (at 3264x2440 resolution and
Best quality) up to hundreds of photos, depending on resolution and quality settings you choose in the
main menu. A “countdown” indicator on the lower left of the display shows the remaining number of photos
that the available memory can hold. When no more photos will t in the available storage, a “Memory Full!”
message appears. To expand the available storage, you may add an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory
card, with up to 32GB capacity. MMC cards, which look similar to SD cards, are not recommended. The card is
inserted into the slot on the back of the camera pod, with the “notched” corner on the left as indicated by the
card icon below the slot. Insert the SD card with the label side facing down. Note: be sure the power is turned
o before inserting or removing cards to prevent possible loss of les or damage to the card. A new card will
not require formatting, but a card that has been previously used in other devices (cameras, PDAs, etc) should
be formatted by the ImageView before beginning to take photos or videos (see “Format” in the Review Mode
section of this manual for details). Note that formatting will erase all les previously stored on the card,
so be sure they have been downloaded or copied rst if you wish to keep them.
