118325 Compact Instant Replay 6L3 3 6/4/07 12:56:24 PM

Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell® 5 MP Compact Instant Replay™ ! Your Instant Replay digital binocular is ideal for all sporting events and nature observation, as it combines a high quality 8 power compact binocular with a versatile 5 megapixel digital camera (with option for 8 MP eﬀective resolution via software interpolation). Your Instant Replay has a “dual personality”, capable of taking high resolution digital still photos as well as shooting video, with your choice of “normal” (continuous) or “instant replay” loop video operating modes. e photos and videos are both automatically stored in the internal memory, or on an optional SD (Secure Digital) card, and can be easily reviewed on the ﬂip-up color LCD, or downloaded to your computer without the need to install any special software (With Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Mac OSX. A driver is provided for Windows 98/98SE).

Before using your new Instant Replay, please read the instructions contained in this manual and take time to familiarize yourself with the camera’s operation and many great features.

QUICK GUIDE: BUSHNELL INSTANT REPLAY 118325

Install Batteries & (optional) SD Card

Insert 2 AAA batteries (see “Speciﬁcations”) into the battery compartment on the bottom of the camera pod (Note polarity indication inside). An SD memory card (optional, use up to a 1 GB card) for increased photo storage capacity may be installed in the card slot, located at the back of the camera pod (Insert card with label side facing down, pushing lightly until it clicks into place. Push the card lightly in again to remove).

Turn On the Camera

Raise the LCD display, pulling up at the indented areas on each side. Press and release the power button -the red LED next to the USB port will light up. You will see a “live” preview of the image from the camera lens, located between the binocular objective lenses. You can turn the display oﬀ at any time to increase battery life by pressing the Display button-it does not need to be on to take a photo. e camera itself will automatically turn oﬀ after two minutes (this can be changed using the “Auto Oﬀ” option in the Setup menu) if it has been inactive (no buttons pressed). To turn power oﬀ manually, press and release the power button. e default camera settings will provide optimum quality under most conditions-no special settings are required to start shooting photos. However, you may want to set the options based on your preferences.

Format the SD Card (optional)

If you inserted an SD card earlier, format it before beginning to take photos if you are using it in the camera for the ﬁrst time. Press the View button to enter Play mode,then press the Menu button in the center of the 5-way keypad. Press the Down arrow key once to select “Format”, then press Menu again. Note the warning that this will erase all data on the card-make sure you have backed up all ﬁles from a previously used card. Press the Up key to select “OK”, then press Menu to format the card. e display will indicate “Sorry, No Picture” -press the View button (or wait) to return to the live preview display mode.

Set the Binocular Optics for Your Eyes

Roll down the rubber eyecups if you are wearing glasses. Adjust the spacing between the left and right binocular tubes while looking through the binocular until the view appears as a single circular image. en, ﬁnd a distant object with ﬁne detail, and adjust the center focus knob until the object appears sharp through the left eyepiece . Now look through the right eyepiece only. If the object does not appear equally sharp, rotate the right eyepiece (diopter adjustment) until it is also sharp. Once set, you no longer need to move this diopter adjustment, and may simply focus using the center focus knob.

Loading Batteries

Inserting An SD Card

Turn the Instant Replay over, and slide open the battery cover as indicated by the arrow, then tilt it up on its hinges. Insert 2 AAA Alkaline or Lithium batteries into the compartment in the direction indicated by the diagrams inside, then tilt the cover down again and slide it back into place until it clicks. Note: Rechargeable

NiMh type batteries may also be used, but some may not deliver adequate current to power the Instant Replay. AAA NiMh batteries with a current rating of 850 mAh or higher are recommended.

e camera can store from about 15 (at 5 MP resolution and Best quality) up to over 300 photos in the 16 MB internal memory, depending on resolution and quality settings (refer to the chart at the back of this manual). To expand the available storage, you may add an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory card, with 1GB or smaller capacity (256MB, 512MB etc). MMC cards, which look similar to SD cards, are not recommended. e 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 oﬀ before inserting or removing cards to prevent possible loss of ﬁles 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 Instant Replay before beginning to take photos or videos (see the “Review Menu” section for how to do this).

Note that formatting will erase all ﬁles previously stored on the card, so be sure they have been downloaded or copied ﬁrst if you wish to keep them.

Basic Binocular and Camera Setup

Before taking photos or videos, take a few moments to set up the Instant Replay for your individual eyesight and user preferences. Leave the rubber eyecups in their “up” position if you are not wearing glasses, or roll them down if you are. Grasp the left and right sides of the binocular, and pull them apart or push them together while looking through the binocular to adjust the eyepiece spacing until your view is a single circular image. Find a distant object with ﬁne detail (tree, sign, brick wall, etc), and adjust the center focus knob until the object appears sharp when viewed through the left binocular eyepiece only. en, looking at the same object through just the right side of the binocular, simply rotate the right eyepiece until the image is equally sharp for your right eye. is is called the diopter adjustment, and compensates for any diﬀerence in sight between your left and right eyes. Once set by following this initial procedure, you may leave the diopter adjustment alone and just use the center focus knob to bring objects at any distance into sharp focus through the binoculars (the minimum focus distance is about 15 feet).

Your digital photos and videos are not aﬀected by the center focus knob, as the camera lens located between the binocular objective lenses does not require focusing. It is preset so that objects ranging from approximately 50 feet to inﬁnity will be in focus. Note that the binocular is capable of focusing closer than the camera. Check the live preview image on the LCD display to make sure you are far enough away to ensure sharp photos. e camera lens provides 8x magniﬁcation, which is the same as the binocular’s optics, and is aligned so that and object centered in the binocular’s view will also be centered in your photos or videos. erefore, it is not necessary to have the LCD turned on or even raised while you are shooting photos or videos. Reducing use of the LCD will extend battery life signiﬁcantly.

You may want to go into the camera’s menu and set the correct date before using the camera for the ﬁrst time. Raise the LCD display and press the power button. After the startup display comes on, press the Menu button (center of the 5-way keypad). Press the Down arrow key 7 times to highlight “Clock Set”, then press Menu again. Now set the Year, Month, Date, Hour and Minute (in order from left to right), using the Up/Down arrow keys to make changes, and the Right key to move to the next item. Once date & time are set, press the Menu button. Press the Down arrow key once to highlight “Date Stamp”, press Menu, then highlight your preference (On-the date and time will be printed on your photos- or Oﬀ) using the Up/Down keys. Press Menu, then keep pressing the down arrow key until you see “Exit” , and press Menu again to return to the preview display.

118325 Compact Instant Replay 6L11 11 6/4/07 12:56:27 PM

Taking Still Photos

After following the initial setup as described in the previous pages, you are ready to take a photo:

1) Raise the LCD and press and release the Power button (red LED lights, startup screen appears).

2) e Instant Replay will default to 5MP resolution and high quality settings, as well as “everything on automatic” when it is turned on for the ﬁrst time, so you can take excellent photos right away. If you prefer to use diﬀerent settings, refer to the section “Using the Main Menu” for directions regarding how to ﬁnd and change settings such as resolution, exposure and other options.

3) You may compose your photo while looking through the binocular (the LCD does not need to be on to take a photo). However, for the most accurate framing, checking the LCD preview is recommended.

4) Be sure you are not closer than approximately 30 feet from your subject. e binocular optics will focus closer than this, but the camera focus is preset for best results with distant subjects (no focusing is necessary for the camera). e LCD may be used to verify that the subject is not too close for sharp results.

5) Hold the camera as steady as possible with both hands and lightly press the Shutter button. e display will “freeze” brieﬂy, conﬁrming the captured image while the ﬁle is stored, then you are ready to take another photo. e number in the lower left corner of the LCD will show the number of remaining photos you can take, based on available, unused memory (on the SD card, or internal memory if no card is used). Once you reach “0000”, and the display indicates “Memory Full !” when Shutter button is pressed, you are out of memory (storage space) and should download photos you wish to keep so they may be deleted, or you may remove the ﬁlled up card and install another SD card.

6) Digital zoom up to 3x is available. Press the Down arrow key to zoom in (you will see the result on the LCD). Press the Up arrow key to zoom back out. No digital zoom is used (optical magniﬁcation only) when “1.0” is indicated next to the magnifying glass icon.

7) Press the View button if you wish to check the photo after you take it, then press it again to return to a live preview. See the section “Review Menu” for more regarding reviewing and deleting previously taken photos.

Warning: Use care during handling to avoid touching the camera lens (located in the center between binocular lenses) to prevent degrading the image quality. Clean the camera lens only with dry lens tissue or microﬁber cloth. DO NOT use liquids of any type.

118325 Compact Instant Replay 6L12 12 6/4/07 12:56:27 PM

Shooting Videos (Setting/Using Video Mode)

1) Follow steps 1-4 on the previous page, “Taking Still Photos”

2) To change from still photo to video mode, press the Right arrow key 3 times, until the movie camera icon is displayed at the

top right area of the LCD. You are now in Video Mode. Press the Shutter button to start recording a new video clip, and press it again to stop recording and store the video in memory.

3) You have a choice of two types of video shooting, normal or loop (“Instant Replay”). Which type you shoot is determined by the current setting in the “Video Size” option in the operating menu. e recording time when shooting “Normal” videos is limited only by the amount of internal or card memory currently available. You may record a single long video until you run out of memory, or multiple shorter videos by stopping and starting recording whenever you wish by pressing Shutter button. e counter on the right side of the display shows the elapsed time since the recording was started. e recording time when shooting “Loop” videos is predetermined by the resolution and frame rate you select. is varies from 8 seconds at the highest resolution and rate (640x480 @ 30 fps) to 60 seconds at the lowest/slowest (320x240 @ 15 fps)-the other settings produce 15 and 30 second loops. At the end of this time period, the video begins to record again automatically (loop), replacing the previous video with the new footage. is is ideal for making sure you capture sports action at its peaksimply start recording anytime (as a player nears the goal, for example), then stop recording after you see the outcome of the play-you won’t waste a lot of memory and won’t have to “rewind” and search through a long video to ﬁnd the highlight again.

4) Press the View button if you wish to check a video after you shoot it. Press the Shutter button to begin playback, press it again to stop playback. Press the Left arrow keys to review your previous video or still photo ﬁles. Pressing the Display button will display a “thumbnail” review of multiple ﬁles-use the arrow keys to highlight the ﬁle you wish to review, then press Menu to select and view it. When you are ready to return to the live preview display to shoot more videos (or stills), press the View button.

5) See the section “Review Menu” for more regarding reviewing and deleting previously taken videos.

Using e Main Menu

As mentioned earlier in this manual, your Instant Replay is already set for high resolution and quality right out of the box. Exposure, white balance, and other variables are set automatically. is means that you will get good results for most subjects and lighting without the need to go into the menus and change any settings. However, we recommend that you become familiar with the available options so that you can improve your photos if, for example, you decide they are coming out too dark (common for snow scenes with most cameras), or too green (under many ﬂuorescent lights). Press the “Menu” button to enter the main menu. Use down or up arrow buttons to highlight (in blue) an option within the menu, then press Menu if you wish to change the settings for that option. Use the Up/Down arrow to select the setting you want, then press Menu to conﬁrm this setting. Here are the options and settings available in the main menu (note that “Resolution” also has a submenu, with separate settings for still photos and video clips).

System Requirements

Soware Installation

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

OS: Windows® 98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista (see note under “Software Installation” regarding Vista) CPU: Intel 350 MHz w/MMX, AMD 450 MHz, or equivalent processors Memory: 64 MB minimum Available Hard Drive Space: 30 MB(if installing BlazePhoto) Driver: only required for Windows 98SE, provided on CD-ROM or via download (bushnell.com) Available USB Port

Note: for BlazePhoto tech support, email “support@Blazevideo.com”

If you are using Windows 98SE, you must install drivers before connecting the camera to your PC. Insert the CDROM 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, XP and Vista 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 BlazePhoto® from the CD-ROM. Note: With Windows Vista, you may encounter error or warning mes- sages (“ﬁle missing”, etc) during installation, but clicking “OK” and proceeding should allow the installation to complete.

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

2. With the camera’s power on, press the “View”button to enter Review/Playback mode. Connect the supplied cable to the Instant Replay’s USB port, then directly to a main USB port on your computer-do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered “hubs”.

118325 Compact Instant Replay 6L20 20 6/4/07 12:56:28 PM

3. e LCD display will indicate “Mass Storage”, and the Instant Replay 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.

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” named “Bushnell”, 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 “PICT__” followed by a 4-digit number, same as seen earlier on the camera’s display when you review photos. Still photos have the ﬁle extension (suﬃx) “.jpg”, video ﬁles “.avi”. 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). In Windows XP, a window will open with a list of options (copy, edit, email, etc). Select an existing folder on your hard drive, such as “My Pictures”, or create a new folder (“Smith Family 2007 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 “disk” that appeared on your desktop when the camera was connected.)

Transferring e Photos & Videos to Your PC continued

118325 Compact Instant Replay 6L21 21 6/4/07 12:56:28 PM

Transferring e Photos & Videos to Your PC continued

Note: If your PC will not play the .avi movie ﬁles in Windows Media Player, you may need to download a newer version of Media Player or Direct X from Microsoft.com. e movie ﬁles can also be played back with the QuickTime Player, included with many computers, or available as a free download from Apple.com.

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 BlazePhoto, click “Get Photo” in the top left options bar, then ﬁnd and select the folder you used from the list of drives and folders shown in the left frame. “Preview” will highlight in the options bar, and you will see the photos in your folder. Select one (its frame turns yellow), then click the menu bar “Edit” button and experiment with the options. If you have any problems with opening a photo, or want to learn more about editing, sharing or printing your photos, simply click “Help” in the top menu It is also possible to open and work with your photos directly from the Instant Replay while it is still connected. To do this with BlazePhoto, ﬁrst follow steps 1-3, then open BlazePhoto, click “Get Photo”, then select “Camera & Removable Device” as the source. A new window will open. Select “Bushnell” in the “Source Device” drop down list. Click to select a photo or photos in the Preview window, then click “Transmit”. You can ﬁrst create and name a “Sub folder” such as “Smith family vacation” as the download destination if desired. If you choose

to work this way, from a connected camera, be sure that you save any edited photos to your hard drive, and not the camera’s memory or card. When you are ready to save your edited ﬁle, you may want to use “Save As” and give it a more descriptive name than “PICT0001”. Make sure you have successfully transferred all the photos you wanted to save before using “Delete” or “Format” on your camera to make room for new images.

8. BlazePhoto is capable of opening, editing (cropping, resizing, adjusting brightness, color, etc), and sharing

(creating DVD slide shows, online albums, prints, etc) your still photos. It will not allow you to open, playback, or edit video ﬁles. To view the videos you shoot with your Instant Replay on your PC or Mac, follow steps 1-6, then use Windows Media Player (7 or higher) or QuickTime Player to play the video. Note that the videos do not contain audio.

Nous vous félicitons pour l’achat de vos jumelles Bushnell® 5 MP Compact Instant Replay™! Les jumelles numériques Instant Replay sont idéales pour toutes les manifestations sportives et l’observation de la nature, associant des jumelles compactes de haute qualité, de grossissement 8 fois, à un appareil photo numérique polyvalent de 5 mégapixels (avec possibilité de résolution apparente de 8 MP par interpolation logicielle). Les Instant Replay présentent une « double personnalité », conçues à la fois pour la prise de photos numériques de haute résolution et pour l’enregistrement de séquences vidéo, avec le choix entre les modes d’exploitation « normal » (continu) ou de vidéo en boucle à « reprise instantanée ». Les photos et séquences vidéo sont automatiquement enregistrées dans la mémoire interne ou sur une carte SD (Secure Digital) en option et peuvent être aisément visionnées sur l’écran LCD relevable ou téléchargées sur un ordinateur sans devoir installer de logiciel particulier (sous Windows 2000, XP, Vista ou Mac OSX ; un pilote est fourni pour Windows 98/98SE).

Avant d’utiliser les nouvelles jumelles Instant Replay, veillez à lire les instructions de ce manuel et à vous familiariser avec l’utilisation de l’appareil et ses nombreuses fonctionnalités.

GUIDE RAPIDE : BUSHNELL INSTANT REPLAY 118325

Poser les piles et la carte SD (en option)

Placer les piles AAA (voir « Caractéristiques techniques » dans le compartiment de piles sous le boîtier d’appareil photo (respecter les indications de polarité à l’intérieur). Une carte mémoire SD (en option, jusqu’à 1 Go) peut être placée dans le connecteur de carte, à l’arrière du boîtier d’appareil photo, pour augmenter la capacité de stockage de photos (enfoncer la carte avec l’étiquette vers le bas, sans forcer, jusqu’au déclic ; appuyer de nouveau légèrement sur la carte pour l’extraire).

Mettre l’appareil photo en marche

Relever l’écran LCD, en le saisissant par les prises en retrait sur les côtés. Appuyer brièvement sur le bouton de marche - le voyant rouge à côté du port USB s’allume. L’écran aﬃche une visualisation « en direct » de l’image de l’objectif photo, placé entre les lentilles des jumelles. L’écran peut être éteint à tout moment pour économiser les piles en appuyant sur le bouton Display ; il n’est pas nécessaire qu’l soit en marche pour prendre une photo. L’appareil photo s’éteint automatiquement de lui-même au bout de deux minutes d’inactivité (si aucun bouton n’est enfoncé) (ceci peut être modiﬁé au moyen de l’option « Arrêt auto » du menu Conﬁguration). Pour éteindre l’appareil manuellement, appuyer brièvement sur le bouton de marche. La conﬁguration par défaut de l’appareil photo assure une qualité optimale dans la majorité des situations ; aucun réglage spécial n’est nécessaire pour commencer à prendre des photos. Toutefois, il peut être souhaitable de régler les options en fonction de ses propres préférences.

Formater la carte SD (facultatif)

Si une carte SD a été mise en place précédemment, la formater avant de commencer à prendre des photos s’il s’agit de la première utilisation de l’appareil. Appuyer sur le bouton View pour accéder au mode Lecture, puis sur le bouton Menu au centre du sélecteur à 5 touches. Appuyer une fois sur la ﬂèche Bas pour sélectionner « Formater », puis appuyer de nouveau sur Menu. Noter la mise en garde concernant l’eﬀacement de toutes les données ; veiller à avoir sauvegardé tous les ﬁchiers d’une carte déjà utilisée. Appuyer sur la ﬂèche Haut pour sélectionner OK, puis sur Menu pour formater la carte. L’écran aﬃche « Désolé, pas d’image » ; appuyer sur le bouton View (ou attendre) pour revenir au mode de visualisation directe.

Régler l’optique des jumelles en fonction des yeux

Avec des lunettes, rabattre les œilletons en caoutchouc. Régler l’espacement entre les fûts de jumelles droit et gauche tout en observant à travers les jumelles jusqu’à voir une image circulaire unique. Ensuite, choisir un objet éloigné présentant des détails ﬁns et régler la molette de mise au point centrale jusqu’à ce que l’objet apparaisse net à travers l’oculaire gauche. Observer ensuite à travers l’oculaire droit uniquement. Si l’objet n’apparaît pas aussi net, tourner l’oculaire droit (réglage dioptrique) jusqu’à ce qu’il soit net. Une fois ajusté, il n’est plus nécessaire de modiﬁer le réglage dioptrique, la mise au point se fait simplement par la molette centrale.

Appuyer sur Menu, sélectionner (en surbrillance) OK, puis appuyer de nouveau sur Menu pour eﬀacer le ﬁchier. Utiliser « Formater » pour supprimer toutes les photos.

Raccorder à un ordinateur et transférer des photos
