USER MANUAL IMAGEVIEW 111545 BUSHNELL

Parts and Controls Guide

1) To use the ImageView as a standard spotting scope, attach it to a tripod (a small one is included), set the slider (F) to the "Eyepiece" position, and look through the eyepiece (the rubber eyecup may be rolled down if you wear glasses). The eyepiece diopter adjustment (J) index dot should be set to the "0" position. Aim the scope at your subject and adjust the focus knob (O) until it appears sharp. The eyepiece zoom (N) may be set to any magnification desired from 15x to 45x power. Readjust the focus if you start at low power and zoom up to a higher setting.

2) To set up the digital camera, insert two AA batteries (not included) into the compartment (I), noting the polarity marks. Plug the included remote shutter cable into the jack (K) to prevent jarring the scope when taking photos. The ImageView scope has internal memory that will hold about 15 photos (at the default 5MP resolution). However, the internal memory contents may be lost if the batteries are removed or get very weak during storage, and you may prefer to use an SD card for its much greater storage capacity. Insert your SD card (face up, notch on right) in the slot (M). The card will click into place. Push the card in slightly to remove. You may use SD cards (avoid using MMC cards) up to 4 GB capacity. Raise the LCD display (G), and press the ON/OFF button (A) briefly – the Power LED (H) will light. If the SD card you inserted was previously used in other devices, format it before taking photos. Note that this will erase all files on your card (or the internal memory if no card is present) – make sure you have backed up any files you wanted to keep. Press the MODE button (B) to enter the Capture menu (Fig. 1), then press the SNAP button (E) to enter the Set up menu (Fig. 2). "Format" is the first option – press the OK button (D), then the Down arrow key (C) to select "Execute", and press OK. Press the MODE button to exit all menus.

3) When you are ready to take a photo, switch the slider (F) to "Camera". Note: your photos will be all black if the slider is left in the Eyepiece position. The internal camera provides a fixed magnification of about 22x - this corresponds to what you see through the eyepiece with the zoom ring set to the green dot position (lined up with the red index dot). Adjust the focus knob if necessary so the subject appears sharp on the LCD. Press the button on the remote shutter cable to take the photo. It is also possible to shoot video movies (VGA, 20 fps) with theImageView scope. Press and hold the SNAP button for 2-3 seconds, then release. A movie film icon appears in the display at top left. Press the remote shutter button to start recording. A counter at the bottom of the display shows elapsed time. Hold the SNAP button down for a few seconds again to return to still photo mode. The camera will automatically turn itself off after three minutes of inactivity (this can be changed with the "Auto Off" options in the Setup menu - see the online full user's manual for more information).

Tip: it may be helpful to use the 4x digital zoom feature to check focus on small details. Press the "Up" arrow key (C) repeatedly – the display will show the zoom setting, from "1.1x" up to "4.0x" Photos may be taken using the digital zoom, but you will get the best possible quality by zooming back fully (below "1.1x") by pressing the "Down" arrow key before taking a photo.

4) For greater convenience, you can avoid the need to stop and check focus on the LCD every time you want to switch over to use the camera function and take a photo by setting up the eyepiece diopter adjustment (J) to compensate for any difference between the LCD and your vision. To do this, start with the slider in the Camera position and use the focus knob to get a sharp image of any object with fine detail. Next, switch the slider to the Eyepiece position, and set the zoom ring to the "green dot" position to match the camera's magnification. Look through the scope's eyepiece and rotate the diopter adjustment (do not adjust the main focus knob) until the image appears sharp to your eye. Note the setting of the diopter index mark (dot). You will now be free to snap a quick picture anytime you see something interesting through the scope. Simply adjust the focus knob until the image through the eyepiece is sharp, switch the slider over to "Camera", and take the photo - it's not even necessary to raise the LCD.

5) To review your photos, press the OK button to enter Play mode. You will see the most recent photo. To step through previous photos one at a time, press the Down arrow key. To delete one or more photos/videos, press MODE to enter the Play menu (Fig. 3). The first item on the menu, "Delete", is already highlighted. Press the OK button. "Single" is highlighted, meaning you will delete only the currently displayed photo/video. Press the Down arrow key to select "All" if you wish to delete every photo and video stored on the card or internal memory. Press OK, then press the Down arrow key to select "Execute". Press OK again to delete the file(s). Press MODE again and repeat the process if you see another photo you want to delete. When you have finished reviewing or deleting photos, press OK to return to the normal preview (live image) display.

6) To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac, connect the supplied cable to the ImageView scope's USB port (L), then directly to a main USB port on your computer - do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered "hubs". The ImageView scope will be recognized as a standard "USB Mass Storage" device (this may take several seconds the first time you connect).

With Windows XP or later, you can simply use the options in the pop-up window to copy, view, or print your photos (right).

On all Windows OS, theImageView scope will appear as a "Removable Disk" under the "My Computer"

list (on Macs, an icon will appear on your desktop). The ImageView's photo files are named "PICT0001.JPG"etc, and are located in the "DCIM" folder on this "Removable Disk". Video file names will end with ".AVI". You may copy the photos/videos to your hard drive as you would any file-just copy/paste or drag the file names or icons to your drive or desktop.

NOTE: If you are not using an SD card in the ImageView scope, be sure to download all files from its internal memory before changing batteries and before storing the camera for a long period. If you use an SD card, photos may also be downloaded by removing the card and using any USB card reader with an SD slot.

Your ImageView spotting scope is already set for high resolution and quality right out of the box, and it is not necessary to change any of the settings to get good results. However, many features and options are provided to enhance your enjoyment of the camera. For more information about them, please refer to the complete instruction manual, available online at: http://www.bushnell.com/customer_service/manuals.cfm
