WARNING
Make sure you download any pictures from your camera BEFORE removing
or changing batteries, unless you have been using an SD card rather than the
internal memory for photo storage. We recommend you download all current
photo files for safekeeping before storing the ImageView away if you are not
using an SD card in the camera, in case the batteries become depleted during
extended storage.
WARNING
Do NOT look directly at the sun through your binoculars.
Doing so may cause permanent eye damage.
NOTE: To reset the camera if you experience problems or if the display becomes
unresponsive, remove the batteries for at least one minute, then re-install them.
This may result in the loss of all photos/videos stored in the internal memory.

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 picture using the included software 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
1.e 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 (flat) end of each battery. A power
meter on the left center 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 1 GB capacity. e camera has 8 MB of internal memory
which can hold over 100 photos, so a card is not necessary. However, the internal memory contents will be
lost if the batteries are removed or die-unlike photos stored on an SD memory card. A 256 MB standard
speed SD card is available in most consumer electronics or computer stores and a is good choice for your
ImageView.
3. Press and hold the MODE button until the camera turns on. e camera will turn off automatically after
about one minute if no buttons are pressed. Note: when the camera is connected to a computer via the supplied
USB cable, the camera will power on automatically, and 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). e camera focus is preset to take sharp photos from appoximately 35 feet to
infinity.
5. When using a tripod, you can help avoid the effects of camera shake by plugging the supplied remote
shutter release into the jack next to the SD card slot, and using the button on the remote rather than SNAP
to take photos.
Setup and Basic Operation

8
e ImageView will imprint the date and time in the bottom right corner of your photos. To
set the current date and time, after turning on the camera, press and hold both the MODE and
SNAP buttons at the same time, until the display begins to flash. e display now shows the
last two digits of the year. Press the MODE button to move the cursor to the second digit if
necessary. Press the SNAP button to advance the digit to the current year ("07" for 2007, etc).
en press MODE to go to the next number, which is the month. Again, use SNAP to change
this to the current month. Following the month display is: date, hour (24hr format), minute,
and second-continue to set these following the same process using the MODE and then SNAP
buttons. When you have completed all of the date/time settings, the display will stop flashing
and return to normal. Note that you will need to reset the date/time after replacing batteries.
Your ImageView is already set to high resolution and quality right out of the box, and it is
not necessary to use the MODE settings and make any changes to get good results by simply
pressing the SNAP button to take 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
available mode options listed on the following pages. Briefly pressing the MODE button will
step through these operational modes in the listed order, and you will see the icon for each
mode along with its current setting on the display. Use the SNAP button to select the desired
setting for any mode. If you make no changes, and the SNAP or MODE button is not pressed
within 5 seconds, the camera will return to normal operation and display.
