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 also save what you see by snapping a photo with the built-in digital camera.
QUICK GUIDE: BUSHNELL IMAGEVIEW 118331 INSTALL BATTERIES Insert 2 AAA batteries (alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable NiMh) as indicated inside the battery compartment on the bottom of the ImageView. ADJUST THE BINOCULAR FOR COMFORTABLE VIEWING Adjust the center focus knob while viewing a distant object through the binocular, until it appears sharp. Move the left and right sides of the binocular closer together or farther apart until you see a single circular image.
QUICK GUIDE: BUSHNELL IMAGEVIEW 118331 CHECK CAMERA SETTINGS Make sure the camera is set for high resolution and quality (refer to pg.8, “Setup Menu”) if you want the best results, especially if you will be printing the photos. See “Changing Operational Modes” for full instructions covering features such as continuous shot, shooting a video clip, and how to delete a photo you have just taken.
BASIC OPERATION TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF Insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries as indicated on the inside of the battery compartment, located on the bottom of the camera unit. Turn the camera on by pressing and holding the MODE button until the display comes on and the camera beeps. To turn the unit off, press and hold the MODE button until the display goes out. The camera will turn itself off automatically to save batteries if none of the buttons have been pressed for two minutes.
LCD display 1. High Quality Mode (less file compression) 2. Deletes all the pictures in the memory. 3. Low Quality Mode (more file compression) 4. Deletes the last picture taken. 5. Select the timer to take a delayed picture. This gives you approximately a 10-second delay. 6. SD mark appears when an SD card is inserted. 7. This mode allows you to take short movie clips, saved as “.avi” files. 8. USB mark appears when USB cord is connected between the camera and the PC. 9.
CHANGING OPERATIONAL MODES Pressing the MODE button briefly will cycle through several special camera modes and settings. A corresponding icon or symbol (indicated in parentheses below) will be displayed on the LCD for each mode or setting as you cycle through them by tapping the MODE button. When the icon for a mode or setting is displayed, pressing SNAP will select that mode or change that setting. If no button is pressed for more than 5 seconds, the camera will return to normal operation.
CHANGING OPERATIONAL MODES continued return to normal operation in a few seconds (all your photos will not be deleted). When the process is complete, the photo number display will reset to zero. If no button is pressed for 5 seconds, the camera returns to stand-by. “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.
SETUP MENU continued Power Frequency (60 or 50 Hz): This sets the correct electrical line frequency to avoid any visible “flickering” in the images, especially when shooting video clips where fluorescent lighting is present. The “60” setting should be used for operation in the United States. If you are using the camera in a country with 50 Hz (cycle) AC power frequency, press SNAP to select “50” instead. • Escape (ESC): Select ESC and press SNAP to exit the Setting menu options, and return to normal mode.

DOWNLOADING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS TO YOUR COMPUTER-Step by Step: 1. 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 camera will be recognized as a USB mass storage device (with USB Mode set to “STO” and not “PCC”-see pg.8), which means no special drivers are required for all recent Windows PCs (Win98 and earlier Windows operating systems are not supported).
DOWNLOADING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS TO YOUR COMPUTER-Step by Step: (NEVER disconnect the camera while files are still being transferred to your computer.) Before disconnecting, you may need to “eject” or stop the removable disc representing the camera to avoid an error message on computers running Windows 2000 or Mac OS. After the photos are transferred to your hard drive, you can disconnect the camera.
Binocular Instructions EYE ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. 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. Fig.
Binocular Instructions EYECUPS (Fig. 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 Fig. 3 eyes closer to the binocular lens thus providing improved field of view.
