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 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 power meter on the lower right of the display indicates battery condition.

2. Insert an SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing up) in the slot if greater storage is desired. You may use SD cards (not MMC cards) up to a maximum 1 GB capacity. e camera has 16 MB of internal memory which can hold over 100 photos, so a card may not be 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 256MB, 512 MB or 1GB standard speed SD card is available in most consumer electronics or computer stores and a is good choice for your ImageView, especially if you will always use "Hi" resolution.

3. Press and hold the MODE button until the power LED comes on. 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 the supplied USB cable, the camera will power on automatically, and draw power from the computer with no battery drain.

4. Hold the ImageView steady and press SNAP to take a picture (or start/stop shooting a video, when the camera is in video mode). e camera focus is preset to take sharp photos from appoximately 35 feet to inﬁnity.

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 118322 Eng+Span+Frn 3L7 7 2/19/08 11:22:08 PM

e ImageView will imprint the date and time in the bottom right corner of your photos. To set the correct date and time, after turning on the camera, press and hold both the MODE and SNAP buttons at the same time, until the display begins to ﬂash. e display now shows the last two digits of the year. Press the MODE button to move the cursor to the second digit if necessary. Press the SNAP button to advance the digit to the current year ("07" for 2007, etc). en press MODE to go to the next number, which is the month. Again, use SNAP to change this to the current month. Following the month display is: date, hour (24hr format), minute, and second-continue to set these following the same process using the MODE and then SNAP buttons. When you have completed all of the date/time settings, the display will stop ﬂashing and return to normal. Note that you will need to reset the date/time after replacing batteries.

Your ImageView is already set to high resolution and quality right out of the box, and it is not necessary to use the MODE settings and make any changes to get good results by simply pressing the SNAP button to take photos. However, as you might want to shoot a video clip, delete one or more previous photos, or explore other options, we recommend you review the available mode options listed on the following pages. Brieﬂy pressing the MODE button will step through these operational modes in the listed order, and you will see the icon for each mode along with its current setting on the display. Use the SNAP button to select the desired setting for any mode. If you make no changes, and the SNAP or MODE button is not pressed within 5 seconds, the camera will return to normal operation and display.

USING THE IMAGEVIEW WITH YOUR COMPUTER:

1. The camera will be recognized as a USB mass storage device (if it is set to "STO" and not "PC"), which means no special drivers are required for all operating systems later than Windows 98 (Me, 2000, XP, Vista.) Mac OS 9 and OSX are also compatible. If you have a PC running Windows 98, you must install the driver found on the included CD-ROM BEFORE CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO YOUR PC.

2. If you have a computer OS as listed above that is USB mass storage compliant, a new disc icon will appear in Windows Explorer (under “My Computer”) as a new “Removable Disc” after plugging in the USB cable from the Imageview. Mac users will see the new disc device appear on their desktop. Clicking on the new disc icon will show the contents, a folder named “DCIM.” The image folder inside this contains your photos, stored as JPEGs (.jpg file format). They may then be viewed, edited, renamed and saved using any photo or graphics software that accepts .jpg files. If you do not have software that will open .jpg files, you should install Roxio Photosuite 5 (Windows 98, 2000 or XP only) from the included CD-ROM. See “Software Installation” for instructions.

3. After you have copied or opened and saved the photo files to your computers hard drive, you may disconnect the Imageview camera (NEVER disconnect the camera while files are still being transferred to your computer.) Before disconnecting, you should “eject” or stop the "removable disc" representing the camera to avoid an error message (not necessary with Windows XP).

4. See the following pages for full step by step instructions to download your photos.

System Requirements (Minimum)

Soware Installation

Transferring e Photos & Videos to Your PC - Step by Step

OS: Windows® 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista (PhotoSuite 5 is not compatible with Vista) CPU: MMX Pentium® 200MHZ equivalent or faster (Pentium® III 500 MHz for PhotoSuite5™)

Memory: 32MB minimum (64MB recommended for PhotoSuite) SVGA video card w/2MB VRAM, 800x600 screen display, 16 bit High color 200 MB available hard disk space (if installing PhotoSuite) Internal USB Port

If you are using Windows 98, you must install drivers before connecting the camera to your PC. Insert the CD-ROM into your computer’s CD drive; it will auto-run and the install screen will be displayed. Select “Install Driver”, then follow the directions. After installation, restart your computer. Windows 2000, ME, and XP do not require drivers, as the camera uses the USB mass storage standard , allowing the photo ﬁles to be accessed as if they were stored on an external hard drive. For any Windows OS, if you are not already using photo editing software you prefer, you may install Roxio PhotoSuite® from the CD-ROM. Be sure to read the “Release Notes” completely, noting any tips or potential issues relevant to your PC conﬁguration and OS.

1. Be sure the driver has been installed ﬁrst if you are on Windows 98/98SE.

2. Connect the supplied cable to the ImageView’s USB port, then directly to a main USB port on your computer-do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered “hubs”.

CAUTION: Make sure you download all photos/videos from your camera's internal memory before removing the batteries.

Note: With Windows Vista, you may encounter error or warning messages (“ﬁle missing”, etc) while installing PhotoSuite 5, but clicking “OK” and proceeding should allow the installation to ﬁnish.

3. e LCD display will indicate “STO”, and the ImageView will be recognized as a standard “USB Mass Storage” device. is means that the camera ﬁles can be easily viewed, edited, or copied to your hard drive, just as if they were stored on an external hard drive or a CD-ROM. (Note for Mac users: you may need to select "STO" memory access and plug in the ImageView while its LCD still displays "STO" for it to appear on the Mac desktop as an "Untitled" disk. See "Using the Operational Modes")

4. (is step is not required with Windows XP, simply use the options in the pop-up window to view, copy or edit your photos). Open My Computer or Windows Explorer. e camera will be seen as a new “Removable Disk” with an unused drive letter assigned to it. Double click this new “Disk” icon, open the “DCIM” folder inside, then the folder(s) inside that (“100MEDIA” ,etc). Your photos/videos are the ﬁles inside-they have the preﬁx “DSC” followed by a 4-digit number, as seen earlier on the camera’s display when you review photos. Single clicking any ﬁle should show a small preview image.

5. Click “Edit>Select All” (or click on one photo, contol+click to select multiple photos), then “Edit>Copy to Folder” (in Windows menus). Select an existing folder on your hard drive, such as “My Pictures”, or create a new folder (“Hawaii Vacation”, etc), then click “OK” to transfer copies of the photo ﬁles you want.

6. After the photos are transferred to your hard drive, you can disconnect the camera. Windows 2000 may produce a screen warning that you have disconnected a USB device without stopping or ejecting the “disk” ﬁrst (your photo ﬁles will not be harmed). If so, check the box that adds an icon to your system tray or taskbar. en next time you ﬁnish transferring photos, you can click that icon ﬁrst, and “Stop the USB Mass Storage Device” before disconnecting the camera. (On Mac computers, you should “eject” the untitled “disk” that appeared on your desktop when the camera was connected.)

Transferring e Photos & Videos to Your PC continued

7. You’re now ready to open the photo ﬁles in any photo editing software. Just use File>Open and go to the folder where you stored the photos earlier. If you are using PhotoSuite, select File>Open Photo, then use the “Look in” pull down menu at the top of the Open window, select “My Computer”, select your hard drive, and double click any photo in the folder where you copied the ﬁles from the camera. It is also possible to open and work with your photos directly from the ImageView while it is still connected.To do this with PhotoSuite, ﬁrst follow steps 1-3, then open PhotoSuite, select File>Open Photo and use the “Look in” menu to select My Computer, then select the “Removable Disk”, and open the folders inside until you get to the JPEG photo ﬁles. If you choose to work this way, from a connected camera, be sure that you save the photo (when you are done editing) to your hard drive, and not the camera’s memory or card. To do this in PhotoSuite, after clicking “Done”, answer “Save Changes?” with “Yes”, but then answer “Replace Existing File”? with “No” and use the “Save As” dialog box to save the edited photo in a folder on your hard drive (“Save In>Local Disk”), not the “Removable Disk” (camera).

8. If you are new to photo editing on a computer, consult your software’s Help menu (PhotoSuite has extensive built-in Help) for tips on using its features. Along with adjusting the brightness, contrast, sharpness and color of your photos, you can resize the photo to ﬁt the paper if you are printing, or save a smaller, low or medium resolution version for email or inserting into documents. When you are ready to save your edited ﬁle, you may want to use “Save As” and give it a more descriptive name than “DSC___”. Doing this also preserves the original ﬁle as a backup to reopen and re-edit later. Make sure you have successfully transferred all the photos you wanted to save before using “Delete All” on your camera to make room for new images.

BINOCULAR INSTRUCTIONS

Your Bushnell binocular is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of pleasurable viewing. This portion of the booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining how you can adjust the binocular to your eyes, and how to care for this instrument. Read the instructions carefully before using your binocular.

EYE ADJUSTMENTS (Figure 1)

How to Adjust For Distance Between Your Eyes The distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eye, follow these simple steps.

1. Hold your binocular in the normal viewing position.

2. Grasp each barrel firmly. Move the barrels closer together or further apart until you see a single circular field. Always re-set your binocular to this position before using.

How to Adjust For Individual Eye Strength As individual eyesight varies from one person to another, most Bushnell binoculars have a diopter setting feature which allows you to fine-tune the binocular to your vision. Follow the focusing instructions below for your type of binocular.
