BASIC SETUP

Loading Batteries

Slide the battery compartment cover (A) down, remove and set aside. Insert 3 AAA Alkaline or Lithium

batteries into the compartment oriented as indicated by the polarity marks on the cover (both upper batteries

“negative facing up”, lower battery “positive facing up”- see “Battery polarity” on pg. 3). Replace the cover, sliding

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 camera and display. An indicator in the top left corner of the display (L)

monitors the battery power level (pg. 4, #1). The batteries will need to be replaced soon after the level meter

drops to the last segment.

Inserting An SD Card

The ImageView model 118328 requires an SD or SDHC (High Capacity) memory card, with 32GB or lower

capacity (64GB or higher cards will not work), to store the photos and/or videos it captures. As there is no

internal memory, the message “INSERT CARD” appears on the display after power on, and the ImageView

cannot be used until a card is inserted. Insert a compatible card (not included) into card slot (B), with the metal

contacts on the card facing up, until it clicks into place. Press the POWER/MODE button (C) until the display

comes on. The camera will automatically turn itself o after 3 minutes of inactivity (this can be changed in the

“Auto O”options in the Setup menu).

If the SD card you inserted was previously used in other devices, format it before taking photos. Press the

MENU button (D) to display the “Capture” menu, then press the RIGHT arrow key to select the “Setup” menu.

The rst item in the Setup menu is “Format”. Press the OK/SNAP (E) button, then press the DOWN arrow key

to select “Execute”. Note: formatting the card will erase all les-make sure you have backed up any les you

wanted to keep. Press OK/SNAP again to format the card (the display reads“One Moment”). Press the LEFT key

twice to select and then exit the Capture menu.

Setting the Menu Language Preference (Optional-only necessary for non-English speakers)

To set the menu language (default=English), press the MENU button (D) to display the “Capture” menu, then

press the RIGHT arrow key to select the “Setup”menu. Press the DOWN arrow key twice to select“Language”,

then press the OK/SNAP button. Select your preferred language using the UP or DOWN keys, then press OK/

SNAP to set it. Press the LEFT key twice to exit the Setup and Capture menus.

Setting the Date and Time (Optional-only necessary if you want to imprint date/time on photos)

The Date/Time Stamp feature is turned o by default. If you want to use it, rst set the date and time by

pressing MENU. Press the Right arrow key to select the Setup menu, then press the UP arrow key to select

“Date Input”, and press OK/SNAP. Select “set”, press OK, and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to select a eld

(format, day, month, year, hour, etc.) and use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to change the setting. When nished,

press OK/SNAP, then press the LEFT arrow key to select the Capture menu. “Time Stamp” should already be

highlighted. Press OK/SNAP, select the option you prefer, and press OK/SNAP again. Press the LEFT arrow key

to exit the menu. Reset the date/time after you replace batteries.

TAKING STILL PHOTOS

After completing the basic setup as described in the previous pages, you are ready to take a photo. To turn on

the camera, press the POWER/MODE button until the Bushnell logo screen appears. The“live preview”display

shows the battery condition, number of photos remaining on the SD card, and the current setting of various

options, along with the image from the camera lens located between the binocular objective lenses. Please

refer to “LCD Preview Display Icon Guide” for more details. Press the left arrow key (DSP) to turn o the display

icons (to see only your photo subject). Press again to view the icons again.You may compose your photo while

looking through the binocular. However, for the most accurate framing, checking the LCD preview display is

recommended.

The ImageView will default to high resolution and quality settings, as well as“everything on automatic”when

it is turned on for the rst time, so you’re ready to take photos under normal conditions with no need to

change anything. If you’d like to explore the various available options, see the manual section titled “Using

the Main Menu-Options and Settings” for directions regarding how to select and change settings such as

resolution, image quality and exposure.

Hold the camera steady with both hands and press the OK/SNAP button (E) to take a still photo. The binocular

focus knob (F) does not aect the focus of the camera lens, which is preset to deliver sharp photos at all

distances from “innity” to about 50 ft. Attach the supplied mini tripod to the socket (G) to help avoid the

eects of camera shake. The included remote shutter cable can be inserted into the remote jack (H) to reduce

vibration, instead of using the OK/SNAP button.

The “remaining photos” indicator near the lower right corner of the display (see pg. 4, #7) will drop as photos

are taken. Once you are out of memory (storage space on the SD card), you will need to download the photos

you have taken so they can be deleted to make room on the card for new photos, or you may remove the lled

up card and install another SD card if you are on a trip away from your computer.

A digital zoom feature is available (up to 8.0x in addition to the normal 8 power optical magnication). Press

the UP (+) arrow key to zoom in (you will see the result on the LCD, and the digital zoom indicator bar moves

upwards). Press the DOWN (-) arrow key to zoom back out (the zoom indicator bar moves downwards).To turn

o all digital zoom (returning to optical magnication only) keep pressing the DOWN (-) key until the zoom

bar indicator goes all the way down (indicating“1.0” digital zoom).

To review a photo after you take it, press the RIGHT arrow key. To see other photos taken previously, press

the LEFT arrow key-each press takes you back one photo, and pressing the RIGHT arrow key moves forward

to more recent photos. Press the MODE button to exit Review mode and return to the live preview. See the

section“Play (Review) Menu”for details on how to use the menu functions for deleting photos, viewing a slide

show of all images, and protecting important photos.

NOTE: Use care during handling to avoid touching the camera lens (K), located in the center between the

binocular lenses, to prevent degrading the image quality. Clean the camera lens only with dry lens tissue or

microber cloth. DO NOT use liquids of any type.

SHOOTING VIDEOS USING VIDEO MODE

To enterVideo mode (from Photo mode), briey press the POWER/MODE button (C).The red movie camera icon

appears at the top right corner of the display (pg. 4, #8). Start shooting the video at any time by pressing the

OK/SNAP button. The counter at the bottom of the display changes to red and shows the elapsed recording

time.The recording time 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 OK/SNAP. Press OK/SNAP again to stop recording. Press POWER/

MODE to switch back to still photo mode.

The video quality/le size can be set by pressing MENU, select“Size”(if not already highlighted) and press OK/

SNAP. You can the select your preferred video resolution from “HD” (highest quality, largest les) to “QVGA”

(lowest quality, smallest les). Note: regardless of the resolution setting, all videos are recorded in at a 30 fps

frame rate, in .avi format. The ImageView does not record audio.

Press the RIGHT arrow key to review a video after you shoot it. Press the UP arrow key to begin playback, press

it again to pause playback. During playback, the counter on the right displays elapsed time. When you are

ready to return to the live preview display to shoot more videos (or stills), press the POWER/MODE button.

USING THE CAPTURE STILL PHOTO MODE MENU

As mentioned earlier in this manual, your ImageView is already set for high resolution and quality right out of

the box. Exposure, white balance, and other variables are set automatically. This means that you will get good

results for most subjects and lighting without the need to go into the menu to change any settings. However,

you should 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 in photos with snow or at the beach), or too green (under

some uorescent lights). Press the MENU button to enter the main menu. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to

highlight an option within the menu, then press OK/SNAP if you wish to change the settings for that option.

Use the UP/DOWN keys to select the setting you want, then press OK/SNAP to conrm and activate the new

setting. Here are all the parameters and settings available in the CAPTURE (Still Photo Mode) menu, along with

a description of their function:
