mageView steady using both hands. Lightly press down the SNAP button using the flat end of your finger , then release it. Avoid “punching” the SNAP button rapidly with a fingertip, resulting in shaky photos. You will hear two quick beeps to confirm a photo was taken, and briefly see a screen displaying the remaining photo capacity (now one less), battery indicator, and resolution setting (1 or 3 stars).

REVIEWING AND DELETING STORED PICTURES

You may review previous images currently stored in the camera’s memory by either scrolling through them one at a time, or seeing a “slide show” which automatically displays and changes images. To see individual images, just press the UP (most recent to oldest photo) or DOWN (oldest photo first) buttons on the 4-way switch. If you see a photo you wish to delete, press SNAP. You will hear a rapid

11-1210 1LIM.indd 6 11/17/04 9:31:22 AMseries of alarm beeps. Press SNAP a second time before the alarm sound ends to confirm you intend to delete that photo. If you do not press SNAP during the alarm, the photo will remain in memory and not be erased. When you are done reviewing images, press MODE to exit and return to preview mode,

eady to take new pictures. To view a slide show of stored images, press the Slide button (left side of the 4-way switch). The photos will continuously cycle at 3-second intervals. Images cannot be deleted in slide show mode. (See “Changing Operational Modes” below for instructions on deleting the last or all stored images). To exit the slide show, press MODE at any time. CHANGING OPERATIONAL MODES Pressing the MODE button briefly will cycle through several special camera modes and settings. A corr esponding icon or symbol (indicated in parentheses below) will be displayed on the LCD for each mode as you cycle through them by tapping the MODE button. A battery meter and counter showing the remaining photo capacity are also displayed in each mode screen. To activate the shooting mode or change the setting, briefly press the SNAP button. If no button is pressed for more than 5 seconds, the camera will return to normal operation. The modes/settings are shown as you cycle through them in the following order:

• S equential Shot ( ) : Takes rapid series of 3 consecutive photos, approx. 1 second apart. When the Sequential Shot icon is displayed, a single press of the SNAP button will take a rapid series of 3 consecutiv e photos. After the series has been shot, the camera returns to normal shooting mode, and the counter will indicate that 3 photos were taken (remaining photo capacity is reduced by 3). This is a great feature for sports action shots.

11-1210 1LIM.indd 7 11/17/04 9:31:23 AM• Timer ( ) : selects the self-timer, which will then take a photo after a 10 second delay when you press the SNAP button. The camera will beep more rapidly right before the photo is taken. After one photo has been taken in timer mode, the counter indicates one less photo remaining, and the camera returns to normal shooting mode.

• D elete All Images ( ) : When this icon is displayed, pressing SNAP once will cause the photos remaining counter to blink (this is a safety precaution-if you accidentally enter this mode and don’t want to delete all, simply wait for 5 seconds and no photos will be lost). If you proceed by pressing SNAP a second time while the counter is still blinking, the all photos currently stored in the camera’s memor y will be erased, and the counter will show the maximum photo capacity. “Delete All” is a quick way to clear the memory following a download of your photos to a computer, so that the camera is ready to hold as many new photos as possible.

• D elete Last Image ( ) : Pressing SNAP when the “Delete Last” icon is displayed will delete (erase) only the last (most recent) photo you took from the camera’s memory. The counter will go up b y one number to indicate the amount of “reclaimed” photo memory, and the camera will return to normal mode, ready to shoot a new photo.

• H igh/Low Resolution ( ) : When the “three stars” icon is displayed, the camera is set to take high resolution images (640x480 pixels). Pressing SNAP will change the camera setting to low resolution (320x240 pixels), indicated by a “one star” icon in the display. To change back to high resolution, press MODE again until you get to the “one star” icon, then press SNAP (“three stars” will again be display ed). When the resolution is changed, the counter will also change to indicate the amount of

11-1210 1LIM.indd 8 11/17/04 9:31:24 AMphoto storage capacity remaining. Setting the resolution to High will produce better quality photos, setting the resolution to Low will allow you to store more photos (of lower quality) in the memory before you stop to download.

• H igh/Low Quality ( LQ ) : This also affects the amount of space each photo takes up in the memory by changing the degree of file compression that is used. The default is high quality, pressing SNAP when the high quality icon (six dots stacked) is displayed will change the setting to low quality (sixteen dots stacked). Repeat the procedure to return to high quality again. As with resolution above, the counter will reflect the increased or decreased photo storage remaining. Refer to the table below to see how the resolution and quality settings affect the maximum photo capacity. Note: The actual number of photos the memory will hold may vary slightly, based on subject detail, lighting, etc.

• P ower Frequency Setting: (60/50 Hz): This sets the correct electrical frequency to avoid any “flickering” in the camera’s output. The normal default is 60 Hz (cycles), as used in the United States. If you are using the camera in a country with 50 Hz power frequency, press SNAP when “60” is display ed to change it to “50”.

• B attery Indicator ( ) : Shows the amount of battery life left. When the battery icon begins to blink, the battery is low and should be replaced soon. If you do not see a live preview when you turn on the camera, or cannot playback stored images, replace the batteries. Be sure to bring an extra set of batteries on a long trip or for important events.

ARNING: Make sure you download all photos (see directions below) from the camera before removing or changing the batteries. The camera memory is battery dependant, and your photos will be lost if you take the batteries out, or if the batteries are allowed to become completely dead.

• P hoto Counter ( ### ) : Indicates the photo storage capacity left in the memory. The display will count down as you take photos so you are able to see how much memory remains in terms of the number of photos you can still take before it is full. You will need to stop and download your photos from the camera to your PC when the memory is filled (counter indicates “000” photo storage space remaining). After downloading, you can delete all photos from the memory and start over with the counter at maximum capacity (determined by resolution and quality settings).

our Bushnell binocular is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of pleasurable viewing. This portion of the booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining how you can adjust the binocular to your eyes, and how to care for this instrument. Read the instructions carefully before using your binocular. EYE ADJUSTMENTS (Figure 1) How to Adjust For Distance Between Your Eyes The distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eye, follow these simple steps.

1. Hold your binocular in the normal viewing position.

2. Grasp each barrel firmly. Move the barrels closer together or further apart

until you see a single circular field. Always re-set your binocular to this position before using. How to Adjust For Individual Eye Strength As individual eyesight varies from one person to another, 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 binocular. INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE Fig. 1

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. Using a lens cover or your hand, cover the objective (front) lens of the

same side of the binocular that has the “diopter setting.” This is usually the right side.

5. Using the center focus wheel, focus on a distant object with fine detail

(e.g., brick wall, tree branches, etc.) until it appears as sharp as possible.

6. Uncover the objective lens on the diopter side, cover the other objective lens, then view the same

7. Using the “diopter setting” adjustment ring, focus the same object being viewed. Caution should

be used as over turning or forcing the diopter eyepiece can cause damage or cause the eyepiece to break away from the chassis.

8. Your binocular should be adjusted for your eyes. Focus at any far or near distances can now be

attained simply by turning the center focus wheel. Make a note of the 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. DIOPTER SETTING Fig. 2 ROLL-DOWN EYECUPS Fig. 3

11-1210 1LIM.indd 15 11/17/04 9:31:31 AMINSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE OF BINOCULARS Your Bushnell binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would give any fine optical instrument. Non-waterproof models should not be exposed to excessive moisture.

1. If your binocular has roll-down, flexible eyecups, store it with the eyecups up. This avoids excessive

stress and wear on the eyecups in the down position.

2. Avoid banging and dropping.

3. Store in a cool, dry place.

ANGER: Never look directly at the sun or any bright light through the binocular. Serious harm, including loss of vision, can result.

5. Never expose your ImageView binocular to any type of excessive of liquid or fluid, as the binocular

is not water/fogproof.

6. Take the batteries out of your ImageView if you are not going to use it for a long period of time.

(Make sure you download any pictures from your camera before you remove the batteries from the camera.) CLEANING

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. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid

or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.
