QUICK GUIDE: BUSHNELL IMAGEVIEW 11-8200
INSTALL BATTERIES
Insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries 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. Rotate the right eyepiece (diopter
adjustment) to change the setting if the image does not appear as sharp to your right eye as
it does to your left eye.
TURN ON THE CAMERA
Press the MODE button, then release it when you see the LCD display in front of the button
come on. You will see a battery indicator and 3 digits indicating the number of photos taken
(currently stored in the internal memory). As you take new photos, this counter will advance.
Press and hold MODE to turn off the camera. You should download all photos before changing
batteries or storing the camera unused for a long period of time (more than a few weeks) as
a precaution.
CHECK CAMERA SETTINGS
Make sure the camera is set for high quality (“LQ” does not show on the LCD display-see
full instructions for setting photo quality) if you want the best results, especially if you will be
printing the photos. See “Changing Operational Modes” for full instructions in using features
such as repeat shot, movie clips (avi mode), and deleting a photo you have just taken.

QUICK GUIDE
TAKE A PHOTO (TIPS FOR BETTER QUALITY PHOTOS)
Holding the ImageView as steadily as possible with both hands wrapped
around the binocular, lightly press down the SNAP button using the flat end of
a finger. Leaning against a wall, tree, etc. to brace yourself can also help insure
the camera does not move as you take the photo. Make sure you are at least
30 feet or more away from your photo subject. Unlike the binocular optics (which will focus
down to about 15 ft.), the camera focus is preset and is designed only for distant subjects- your
photos may look out of focus if you were too close.
USING THE IMAGEVIEW WITH YOUR COMPUTER
BEFORE CONNECTING THE IMAGEVIEW TO A COMPUTER, first install the driver from the CD-
ROM as directed in “Software Installation”. After the driver has been installed, you may install
Roxio® PhotoSuite 5 as well, following the on-screen instructions (if you do not already have
photo software you prefer to use). Connect the supplied USB cable between the ImageView
and your computer, using a USB port on the computer itself (avoid USB “hubs”). Please read
“Downloading Photos to Your Computer” for detailed instructions on transferring photos to
a PC using PhotoSuite.

Congratulations on your purchase of a Bushnell ImageView binocular. Before using the
product, please read these instructions and take time to familiarize yourelf with the different
parts and features of the product.

TAKING A PICTURE
With the camera turned on, press the SNAP button to take a new photo. For best results, hold
the ImageView steady using both hands, and lightly press down the SNAP button using the
flat end of your finger rather than “punching” it with a fingertip. Be sure you are at least 30
feet away from your subject as the camera focus is preset for optimum results with distant
objects (ie: sports, wildlife, etc.).
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 as you cycle through them by tapping the MODE button, and blink unless you
select or confirm it with the SNAP button (icon will stop blinking). 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:
• Timer ( ) : selects the self-timer, which will take a photo after a 10 second delay when you
press the SNAP button. This is useful for avoiding blurry photos from bumping the camera
when it is mounted on a tripod (optional), especially in low light conditions. Once set, the
camera will remain in self timer mode until you return to the timer mode setting and turn
it off.
• Repeat Shot ( ) : Takes rapid series of 3 consecutive photos, approx. 1 second apart,
when you press and hold the SNAP button. As with the timer, the camera will remain in

this mode until you change it, or until the camera’s memory is full. This is indicated by the
display showing “FUL” and a beep alarm.
• High/Low Quality (LQ) : When “LQ” is displayed, pressing “OK” will set the camera to low
resolution mode (320x240 pixels)-the “LQ” icon will stop blinking. LQ mode will allow you
to fit more photos in the memory before you stop to download them, with the tradeoff of
less quality per photo. To reset the camera to high resolution, return to the LQ mode, and
press SNAP again (“LQ” will no longer be displayed). When the LQ icon is off, the camera
is in high resolution mode (640x480 pixels) for best quality.
• AVI Mode: ( ) : This mode sets the camera to take short movie clips (.avi files) rather than
still photos. After this mode has been activated (press SNAP when the movie icon blinks),
holding down the SNAP button will film an avi movie until you release it (or the memory
is full). When the SNAP button is released, the camera reverts back to normal still photo
operation (assuming unused memory remains). Repeat the steps to set AVI mode again if
you wish to shoot more movie clips.
• Power 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 (cycle), as used in the
United States. If you are using the camera in a country with 50 Hz power frequency, press
SNAP when the “50” icon blinks to select it.
• Delete Last ( ) : Pressing SNAP when the “Delete Last” icon is blinking will delete (erase)
the last photo you took from the camera’s memory.
3

• Delete All ( ) : When this mode is selected, the word “ALL” appears next to the trash
can icon, and the number of total photos in memory will blink in the display. Press and hold
the SNAP button to erase the entire memory contents. You will hear a tone that becomes
higher as the photos are 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.
OTHER DISPLAY ICONS
• Battery Indicator ( ) : Shows the amount of battery life left. When only one third of the
icon is filled in, you should plan to replace the batteries soon. Be sure to bring an extra set
of batteries on a long trip or for important events.
WARNING:
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.
• PC Connection (PC) : When the camera is connected to your PC via the supplied USB cable,
the “PC” icon is displayed. Note: when the camera is connected to a PC, the camera will
power on automatically, and uses the USB connection for power to conserve battery life
while downloading photos.
