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 pictures, 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 Setup and Basic Operation
1. The 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 (at) end of each battery. A power meter on the top right of the
display indicates battery condition.
2. Insert an SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing up) in the slot if
greater storage is desired. You may use SD cards (not MMC cards) up to 32 GB
capacity.
3. Press and hold the MODE button for two seconds to turn on the camera. The
camera will turn o automatically after about 3 minutes if no buttons are pressed.
Note: when the camera is connected to a computer via the supplied USB cable, the
camera will draw power from the computer with no battery drain.
4. Hold the ImageView steady and press SNAP to take a picture (or start/stop
shooting a video, when the camera is in video mode). The camera focus is preset
to take sharp photos from approximately 75 feet to innity.
Using the Optional Operating Modes
Your ImageView is already setup to produce high quality results right out of the box,
and it is not necessary to use the optional modes-you may simply press the SNAP
button and start taking photos. However, as you might want to shoot a video clip, delete
one or more previous photos, or explore other options, we recommend you review the

7
available operating modes listed in the chart below. Briey pressing the MODE button
will step through these operational modes in the listed order, and you will see the icon
for each mode on the display. Use the SNAP button to perform the operation after
selecting the icon. If you don't press SNAP within 5 seconds, the camera will return to its
normal operation and display.
Mode Icon Description
Self-Timer Clock Photo is taken after a 10 second delay when SNAP is pressed (in
normal still photo mode.) This can be used to avoid accidently
shaking the camera when the SNAP button is pressed. The timer
automatically cancels after use.
Video Movie
Camera
Select the movie camera icon, then begin shooting by pressing
SNAP. The counter will show the elapsed time while recording
the video clip. The camera will continue recording video until
you stop it by pressing SNAP again, or until there is no more
memory available to store it (whichever occurs rst). The counter
will advance by one, indicating the video le has been saved.
The camera automatically returns to normal still photo mode
after a video has been shot. Video resolution=640x480 pixels per
frame@25 fps

Using the Optional Operating Modes
Mode Icon Description
Delete Last 1 frame
crossed out
Select this mode and press SNAP to delete only the last photo or
video you took. The counter will go down one number.
Delete All 3 frames
crossed out
Select this mode and press SNAP twice to erase the entire memory
contents (the counter resets to zero). Use this after downloading
your les, to clear the memory so you can take new photos. If
"Delete All" is selected accidently, simply wait a few seconds and
the camera will return to normal operation.
Continuous CS Select continuous mode to shoot a rapid series of three photos
instead of a single frame when SNAP is pressed (in normal still
photo mode). This mode automatically cancels after the series of
photos have been shot.

Using the ImageView with Your Computer
1. The camera will be recognized as a USB mass storage device, which means no
special drivers are required for all operating systems later than Windows 98 (Me,
2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7.) Mac OS 9 and OSX are also compatible.
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 "storage 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 le format). They
may then be viewed, edited, renamed and saved using any photo or graphics
software that accepts .jpg les. Videos are recorded in AVI format.
3. After you have copied or opened and saved the photo les to your computers
hard drive, you may disconnect the ImageView camera (NEVER disconnect
the camera while les 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 or later OS).
4. See the following pages for step-by-step instructions on downloading your
photos.

1. Make sure the ImageView is powered on rst (if it is not, it may be recognized as a
"web cam" by your computer). 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”.
2. The LCD display will indicate“STO”(if you see "PCC" (PC Camera) instead, unplug the
USB cable, turn the ImageView on rst and try again), and the ImageView will be
recognized as a standard “USB Mass Storage” device. This means that the camera
les can be easily viewed, edited, or copied to your hard drive, just as if they were
stored on an external hard drive or ash drive. (Note for Mac users: the camera will
appear on the Mac desktop as an "Untitled" disk.)
3. (This step is not required with recent Windows operating systems, simply use the
options in the pop-up window to view, copy or edit your photos). Open My Computer
or Windows Explorer. The camera will be seen as a new “Removable Disk” with
an unused drive letter assigned to it. Double click this new “Disk” icon, open
the “DCIM” folder inside, then the folder(s) inside that (“PICT0001.JPG” ,etc). Still
photos are .JPG format, video les are .AVI format. Single clicking any le should
show a small preview image.
4. Click “Edit>Select All” (or click on one photo, contol+click to select multiple
photos), then “Edit>Copy to Folder”(in Windows menus). Select an existing folder
on your hard drive, such as “My Pictures”, or create a new folder (“Football”, etc.),
then click“OK” to transfer copies of the photo les you want.

Transferring Photos/Videos to Your Computer
5. After the photos are transferred to your hard drive, you can disconnect the camera.
Some Windows operating systems may produce a screen warning that you have
disconnected a USB device without stopping or ejecting the “disk” rst (your
photo les will not be harmed). (On Mac computers, drag the “disk” that appeared
on your desktop when the camera was connected into your Trash to “eject” it before
disconnecting.)
6. You’re now ready to open the photo les in any photo editing software. Just use
File>Open and go to the folder where you stored the photos earlier. It is also
possible to open and work with your photos directly from the ImageView while it
is still connected. If you choose to work this way, from a connected camera, be sure
that you save the photo (when you are done editing) to your hard drive, and not the
camera’s memory or card. If you are new to photo editing on a computer, consult
your software’s Help menu for tips on using its features. Along with adjusting the
brightness, contrast, sharpness and color of your photos, you can resize the photo
to t the paper if you are printing, or save a smaller, low or medium resolution
version for email or inserting into documents. When you are ready to save your
edited le, you may want to use“Save As”and give it a more descriptive name than
“PICT___”. Doing this also preserves the original le as a backup to reopen and re-
edit later. Make sure you have successfully transferred all the photos you wanted
to save before using“Delete All” mode to make room for new images.
