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 all 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 meter on

the display will indicate battery condition when the camera is in use.

2. Insert an SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing up) in the card slot if expanded ﬁle storage

is desired. Gently push the card in until it stops. To remove, simply pull the card straight out. Make sure

the camera power is oﬀ when inserting or removing a card. You may use SD cards (not MMC cards) up

to 1 GB capacity. e camera has 8 MB of internal memory which can hold over 100 photos, so a card is

not 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 card icon is seen in the top right of the display when the camera

is turned on, if a card is inserted

3. Press and release the MODE button to turn on the camera. e "live preview" display will come on a

second or two later. 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 a USB cable, the camera will turn on automatically, and

draw power from the computer with no battery drain.

4. Hold the ImageView steady and press SNAP to take a picture. e camera focus is preset to take sharp

photos from appoximately 35 feet to inﬁnity. To turn oﬀ the camera, hold down the MODE button.

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 111211 1LIM draft.indd5 5 3/12/07 4:01:03 PM

Your ImageView is already set to high resolution and quality right out of the box, and it is not

necessary to make any special setting-you will normally get good photos by simply pressing

the SNAP button. However, as you might want to shoot a video clip, delete a previous photos,

or explore other options, we recommend you review the available optional settings listed on

the following pages.

To see and set these optional settings and special features, begin by brieﬂy pressing the MODE

button-the display will show the main screen with these icons: a battery condition meter, card

icon (when an SD card is used), and the current settings for resolution (one or two stars) and

quality (HQ or SQ). At the top center of the display, you will see a number which indicates

the remaining photo capacity, based on available unused memory in internal RAM or the SD

card (if a card is inserted, all photos will be stored onto it from that point on).

To use the special features (self timer, video clip record, and sequence shot), press the MODE

button again while the main screen is still showing (it will "time out" and return to normal live

preview if no buttons are pressed in 5 seconds). Each time you press the MODE button, the

icon for the next feature will appear, until you return to the main screen again. To use a feature

(video record, for example), you must press SNAP while the feature's icon is displayed. See

"Special Features" for more details on each feature.

Using the Optional Settings and Special Features

ImageView 111211 1LIM draft.indd6 6 3/12/07 4:01:04 PM

To change settings such as resolution and quality, press the MODE button once so that the main

screen is displayed. Next, press the "down" button on the 4-way keypad. You will see the ﬁrst setting

screen, resolution. You have two options, high (VGA-recommended) or low resolution. To toggle

between these two settings, press the "up" button on the 4-way keypad. e icon for resolution will

change from two stars (high res) to one star (low res). After choosing a setting, press MODE to go

to the next screen, the quality setting. Again, use the "up" button to select your preferred quality

(HQ-recommended) or SQ. e remaining two option screens, for USB mode and line frequency,

operate the same way. See "Settings/Options" for more details on each of these.

e inset display is an STN type, as found on many cell phones. As its quality is not comparable to

more expensive LCD displays, it is intended primarily for icon display, and basic review-to verify that

you took a photo you intended to, or ﬁnd a previous photo and delete it. To review photos, press

the "left" button on the 4-way keypad. en press the "up" button to scroll through the photos. To

delete only the currently displayed photo, ﬁrst press the "down" button, then use the "up" button to

select the checkmark icon (or the "X" icon to cancel and not delete if you press "down" by accident),

then press the "down" button to delete the photo. To delete all of your photos while reviewing them,

press MODE, then the "up" button to select the checkmark icon, then the "down" button to delete

all ﬁles in internal memory (or the SD card if one is in the card slot).

From the live preview display, or any other screen, pressing the "right" button on the 4-way keypad

will turn oﬀ the display, useful for saving battery life without turning oﬀ the entire camera. Press the

right button again to return to the previous display. Pressing the right button on the keypad twice is

also a simple way to exit any screen, rather than wait for it to time out.

will be taken after approx. 10 sec delay. is can be

used to avoid accidently shaking the camera when

the SNAP button is pressed. If the remote shutter

cable is available, it should be used instead of the

self timer when the camera is tripod mounted. e

timer automatically cancels after use.

or PC Camera

Select the computer icon (USB mass storage) so

that photos can be downloaded from the internal

or card memory when connected to a PC with the

USB cable. PC Camera turns the Imageview into

a live "webcam"-although this may be of limited

use due to its lack of close focus ability (and 8x

magniﬁcation!)

Line Frequency 60 or 50 60 Hz, 50 Hz Set to match the AC power frequency (cycles) of

your country. is ensures that stills and videos shot

under ﬂuorescent lighting appear normal.

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 for downloading your photos to a computer.
