WARNING

Make sure you download any pictures from your camera BEFORE removing

or changing batteries, unless you have been using an SD card rather than the internal memory for photo storage. We recommend you download all current photo files for safekeeping before storing the ImageView away if you are not using an SD card in the camera, in case the batteries become depleted during extended storage.

WARNING

Do NOT look directly at the sun through your binoculars.

Doing so may cause permanent eye damage.

NOTE: To reset the camera if you experience problems or if the display becomes

unresponsive, remove the batteries for at least one minute, then re-install them.

This may result in the loss of all photos/videos stored in the internal memory.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell ImageView®

binocular! The Bushnell ImageView binocular takes the technology

of digital photography and combines it with a high-quality compact

binocular. This allows you to observe sporting events, wildlife, scenic

vistas or anything you would normally use a binocular for, and then

save the image in a built-in attached digital camera. You can then

download these images to your computer and e-mail them to your

friends and family, print out the picture using the included software or

save them in a photo album for future use. Before using the product,

please read the instructions contained in this manual and take time

to familiarize yourself with the different parts and features of the

product.

CAMERA PARTS

1.e camera is powered by two AAA alkaline, lithium, or NiMh batteries (not included). Insert batteries into the compartment, with the springs in contact with the negative (ﬂat) end of each battery. A meter on the display will indicate battery condition when the camera is in use.

2. Insert an SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing up) in the card slot if expanded ﬁle storage is desired. Gently push the card in until it stops. To remove, simply pull the card straight out. Make sure the camera power is oﬀ when inserting or removing a card. You may use SD cards (not MMC cards) up to 1 GB capacity. e camera has 8 MB of internal memory which can hold over 100 photos, so a card is not necessary. However, the internal memory contents will be lost if the batteries are removed or die-unlike photos stored on an SD memory card. A card icon is seen in the top right of the display when the camera is turned on, if a card is inserted

3. Press and release the MODE button to turn on the camera. e "live preview" display will come on a second or two later. e camera will turn oﬀ automatically after about one minute if no buttons are pressed.

Note: when the camera is connected to a computer via a USB cable, the camera will turn on automatically, and draw power from the computer with no battery drain.

4. Hold the ImageView steady and press SNAP to take a picture. e camera focus is preset to take sharp photos from appoximately 35 feet to inﬁnity. To turn oﬀ the camera, hold down the MODE button.

5. When using a tripod, you can help avoid the eﬀects of camera shake by plugging the supplied remote shutter release into the jack next to the SD card slot, and using the button on the remote rather than SNAP to take photos.

Setup and Basic Operation

ImageView 111211 1LIM draft.indd5 5 3/12/07 4:01:03 PM

Your ImageView is already set to high resolution and quality right out of the box, and it is not necessary to make any special setting-you will normally get good photos by simply pressing the SNAP button. However, as you might want to shoot a video clip, delete a previous photos, or explore other options, we recommend you review the available optional settings listed on the following pages.

To see and set these optional settings and special features, begin by brieﬂy pressing the MODE button-the display will show the main screen with these icons: a battery condition meter, card icon (when an SD card is used), and the current settings for resolution (one or two stars) and quality (HQ or SQ). At the top center of the display, you will see a number which indicates the remaining photo capacity, based on available unused memory in internal RAM or the SD card (if a card is inserted, all photos will be stored onto it from that point on).

To use the special features (self timer, video clip record, and sequence shot), press the MODE button again while the main screen is still showing (it will "time out" and return to normal live preview if no buttons are pressed in 5 seconds). Each time you press the MODE button, the icon for the next feature will appear, until you return to the main screen again. To use a feature (video record, for example), you must press SNAP while the feature's icon is displayed. See "Special Features" for more details on each feature.
