Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell ImageView®
spotting scope! The Bushnell ImageView spotting scope takes
the technology of digital photography and combines it with a
high-quality compact spotting scope. This allows you to observe
sporting events, wildlife, scenic vistas or anything you would
normally use a spotting scope 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 off the picture using the included software or save
them in a photo album for future use.

ENGLISH
To load the software insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and it will self-start. The CD
contains Roxio PhotoSuite, a photo editing program, as well as the drivers necessary for your
computer to recognize the camera. Even if you have photo-imaging software on your com-
puter you prefer to use, and do not need the PhotoSuite software, you will still need to install
the drivers BEFORE CONNECTING the camera .
Click the button on the CD startup screen labeled “Install Driver". After the driver instal-
lation is complete, click “Install PhotoSuite” . Follow the on screen instructions after clicking
an install button. For more details regarding connecting the camera and downloading photos,
see the section titled “Downloading the Pictures to Your Computer”. After downloading from
the camera to your computer, the photo files are standard .jpg files that may be opened and
viewed with any digital imaging software.

If the remote shutter cable is not available, you may
instead use the self-timer (as previously described in
the manual) to trip the shutter without touching or
jarring the camera. However, the timer will not allow
you to take a photo at the exact moment you choose,
as the remote cable will.
REMOTE SHUTTER CABLE
Whenever possible, using the included remote shutter release cable is recommended to
avoid accidentally jarring the camera when the SNAP button is pressed. Due to the high
magnification of the camera, any motion when the shutter is open can result in photos
with a blurred or shaky appearance. The remote cable is plugged into the jack on the
bottom of the camera pod as shown below. Pressing the button on the remote will then
take a photo, just as if SNAP was pressed.
