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 off 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.

INSTALL BATTERIES
Insert 2 AAA batteries (alkaline, lithium, or NiMh) as indicated inside the battery compartment on
the bottom of the ImageView.
ADJUST THE BINOCULAR FOR COMFORTABLE VIEWING
Adjust the center focus knob while viewing a distant object through the binocular, until it appears
sharp. Move the left and right sides of the binocular closer together or farther apart until you see
a single circular image. Rotate the right eyepiece (diopter adjustment) to change the setting if the
image does not appear as sharp to your right eye as it does to your left eye.
TURN ON THE CAMERA
Press the MODE button briefly, then release it. You will see a battery indicator and 3 digits indicating
the number of photos taken (currently stored in the internal memory). As you take new photos, this
counter will advance. Press and hold MODE to turn off the camera. You should download all photos
before changing batteries or storing the camera unused for a long period of time (more than a few
weeks) as a precaution.
CHECK CAMERA SETTINGS
Make sure the camera is set for high resolution and quality (refer to pg.8, "Setup Menu") if you want
the best results, especially if you will be printing the photos. See “Changing Operational Modes” for
full instructions covering features such as continuous shot, shooting a video clip, and how to delete
a photo you have just taken.

TAKE A PHOTO TIPS FOR BETTER QUALITY PHOTOS
Holding the ImageView as steadily as possible with both hands wrapped around the binocular, lightly
press down the SNAP button using the flat end of a finger. Leaning against a wall, tree, etc. to brace
yourself can also help insure the camera does not move as you take the photo. Make sure you are at least
30 feet or more away from your photo subject. Unlike the binocular optics (which will focus down to about
15 ft.), the camera focus is preset and is designed only for distant subjects- your photos may look out of
focus if you were too close.
USING THE IMAGEVIEW WITH YOUR COMPUTER
If you are using Windows 98, install the driver from the CD-ROM as directed in “Software Installation”
before connecting the Imageview to your PC (no driver is necessary with other operating systems). If
desired, you may install Roxio® PhotoSuite 5 from the CD-ROM, following the on-screen instructions
(if you do not already have photo software you prefer to use. Note: PhotoSuite is not compatible with
Windows Vista or Mac OS9/OSX). Connect the supplied USB cable between the ImageView and your
computer, using a USB port on the computer itself (avoid USB “hubs”). Please read “Downloading Photos
to Your Computer” for detailed instructions on transferring photos to a PC or Mac computer.

Congratulations on your purchase of a Bushnell ImageView binocular. Before using the product,
please read these instructions and take time to familiarize yourself with the different parts and
features of the product.
BASIC OPERATION
TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF
Insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries as indicated on the inside of the
battery compartment, located on the bottom of the camera unit.
Turn the camera on by pressing and holding the MODE button
until the display comes on and the camera beeps. To turn the unit
off, press and hold the MODE button until the display goes out.
The camera will turn itself off automatically to save batteries if
none of the buttons have been pressed for two minutes.
TAKING A PICTURE
With the camera turned on, press the SNAP button to take a new
photo. For best results, hold the ImageView steady using both
hands, and lightly press down the SNAP button using the flat
end of your finger rather than “punching” it with a fingertip. Be
sure you are at least 35 feet away from your subject as the camera
focus is preset for optimum results with distant objects (sports,
wildlife, etc.).
