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.

Setup and Basic Operation CAMERA PARTS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The 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 left center of the display indicates battery condition. 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 8 GB capacity.
Setting Date & Time/ Using the Operational Modes The ImageView will imprint the date and time in the bottom right corner of your photos. To set the current 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. The display now shows the last two digits of the year. Press the MODE button to move the cursor to the second digit if necessary.
Using the Operational Modes (Bold indicates default settings) Mode Icon Settings Description Video Video Camera OFF, High (640x480 pixels per frame, 29 fps), Low (320x240 pixels) Select "Hi" (recommended) or "Lo" video resolution instead of "OFF" to put the camera in video mode. Wait a few seconds for the camera to automatically return to the normal display, then begin shooting by pressing SNAP. The counter will show the elapsed time while recording the video clip.
Using the Operational Modes Mode Icon Settings Description Line Frequency 60 or 50 60 Hz, 50 Hz Set to match the AC power frequency (cycles) of your country. This ensures that stills and videos shot under fluorescent lighting appear normal. Continuous CT OFF, 3, 5 Select 3 or 5 frames to shoot a rapid series of photos instead of a single frame when SNAP is pressed (in normal still photo mode). To cancel, enter this mode again and select OFF.
Using the Operational Modes Mode Icon Settings Description Delete All ALL+Trash Can None-press SNAP to delete all photo and video files Select this mode and press SNAP to erase the entire memory contents (the counter resets to zero). Use this after downloading your files, to clear the memory so you can take new photos. If "Delete All" is selected accidently, simply wait a few seconds and the camera will return to normal operation.
Using the ImageView with Your Computer 1. 2. 3. 4. The camera will be recognized as a USB mass storage device, 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 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.
Downloading the Photo/Video Files 1. 2. 3. 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”. The LCD display will indicate “STO”, and the ImageView will be recognized as a standard “USB Mass Storage” device. This 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.
Downloading the Photo/Video Files 4. 5. 6. 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. After the photos are transferred to your hard drive, you can disconnect the camera.
Downloading the Photo/Video Files 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 “SUNP___”. Doing this also preserves the original file as a backup to reopen and reedit 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.
HowBinocular to Adjust ForInstructions 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. FOCUSING 1. Adjust interpupillary distance. (Figure 1) 2. Set the “diopter setting” (Figure 2) to zero and view a distant object. 3. Keep both eyes open at all times. 4.
diopter setting for your eyes for future reference. EYECUPS (Figure 3) Your Bushnell binocular is fitted with rubber roll-down eyecups designed for your comfort and to exclude extraneous light. If you wear sun/eyeglasses, roll down the eyecups. This will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens thus providing improved field of view. Storage, Cleaning And General Care Fig.
6. Take the batteries out of your ImageView if you are not going to use it for a long period of time. CLEANING 1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush.) 2. To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. A “microfiber” cleaning cloth (available at most photo dealers) is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. 3.
