Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Meade®CaptureView®CV-5. CV-5 is an
8 x 42mm full-featured binocular. It is integrated with a digital camera that requires no
film to capture pictures or video. This manual is designed to quickly guide you
through the operation of your CaptureView CV-5. For best results, take a few
moments to become familiar with the operation of your device, and save the manual
for future reference.
A few of CaptureView’s many features:
• Fully functional binocular.
• Digital camera that captures pictures and video.
• Color LCD display panel allows you to easily navigate the operational menus.
• Flashback feature allows you to easily record just the highlight of an activity.
Important Note:
Images and video are saved in flash memory. This means that all images and
video are still saved when the batteries are depleted or removed.
Be sure CaptureView is off before changing batteries.
WARNING! Never use your binocular to look at the Sun! Looking at or near
the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage is
often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has occurred
until it is too late. Do not point the binocular at or near the Sun. Children should
always have adult supervision while observing.

How to Use Your Binocular
If you want to... Do this...
Adjust Eye Relief
Fold down
Barrel
Adjust the Barrels
You need to adjust the barrels, as the
distance between your eyes is usually
different than the distance between
another person’s eyes.
10
• If you wear eyeglasses, fold down
the rubber eyecups and hold the
eyepieces up against your glasses.
Barrel
1. Hold CaptureView up to your eyes in
the normal viewing position. Use
both hands to hold each barrel firmly.
2. Pull the barrels apart or push the
barrels together until you see a
single circular field with both of your
eyes.
