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  
Setup and Basic Operation  
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 meter on  
the display will indicate battery condition when the camera is in use.  
2. Insert an SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing up) in the card slot if expanded file storage  
is desired. Gently push the card in until it stops. To remove, simply pull the card straight out. Make sure  
the camera power is off when inserting or removing a card. 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 card icon is seen in the top right of the display when the camera  
is turned on, if a card is inserted  
3. Press and release the MODE button to turn on the camera. e "live preview" display will come on a  
second or two later. 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 a USB cable, the camera will turn on automatically, and  
draw power from the computer with no battery drain.  
4. Hold the ImageView steady and press SNAP to take a picture. e camera focus is preset to take sharp  
photos from appoximately 35 feet to infinity. To turn off the camera, hold down the MODE button.  
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.

Using the Optional Settings and Special Features  
Your ImageView is already set to high resolution and quality right out of the box, and it is not  
necessary to make any special setting-you will normally get good photos by simply pressing  
the SNAP button. However, as you might want to shoot a video clip, delete a previous photos,  
or explore other options, we recommend you review the available optional settings listed on  
the following pages.  
To see and set these optional settings and special features, begin by briefly pressing the MODE  
button-the display will show the main screen with these icons: a battery condition meter, card  
icon (when an SD card is used), and the current settings for resolution (one or two stars) and  
quality (HQ or SQ). At the top center of the display, you will see a number which indicates  
the remaining photo capacity, based on available unused memory in internal RAM or the SD  
card (if a card is inserted, all photos will be stored onto it from that point on).  
To use the special features (self timer, video clip record, and sequence shot), press the MODE  
button again while the main screen is still showing (it will "time out" and return to normal live  
preview if no buttons are pressed in 5 seconds). Each time you press the MODE button, the  
icon for the next feature will appear, until you return to the main screen again. To use a feature  
(video record, for example), you must press SNAP while the feature's icon is displayed. See  
"Special Features" for more details on each feature.

Using the Optional Settings and Special Features  
To change settings such as resolution and quality, press the MODE button once so that the main  
screen is displayed. Next, press the "down" button on the 4-way keypad. You will see the first setting  
screen, resolution. You have two options, high (VGA-recommended) or low resolution. To toggle  
between these two settings, press the "up" button on the 4-way keypad. e icon for resolution will  
change from two stars (high res) to one star (low res). After choosing a setting, press MODE to go  
to the next screen, the quality setting. Again, use the "up" button to select your preferred quality  
(HQ-recommended) or SQ. e remaining two option screens, for USB mode and line frequency,  
operate the same way. See "Settings/Options" for more details on each of these.  
e inset display is an STN type, as found on many cell phones. As its quality is not comparable to  
more expensive LCD displays, it is intended primarily for icon display, and basic review-to verify that  
you took a photo you intended to, or find a previous photo and delete it. To review photos, press  
the "left" button on the 4-way keypad. en press the "up" button to scroll through the photos. To  
delete only the currently displayed photo, first press the "down" button, then use the "up" button to  
select the checkmark icon (or the "X" icon to cancel and not delete if you press "down" by accident),  
then press the "down" button to delete the photo. To delete all of your photos while reviewing them,  
press MODE, then the "up" button to select the checkmark icon, then the "down" button to delete  
all files in internal memory (or the SD card if one is in the card slot).  
From the live preview display, or any other screen, pressing the "right" button on the 4-way keypad  
will turn off the display, useful for saving battery life without turning off the entire camera. Press the  
right button again to return to the previous display. Pressing the right button on the keypad twice is  
also a simple way to exit any screen, rather than wait for it to time out.

USING THE IMAGEVIEW WITH YOUR COMPUTER:  
1. The camera will be recognized as a USB mass storage device (if it is set to "STO" and not "PC"), which  
means no special drivers are required for all operating systems later than Windows 98 (Me, 2000, XP,  
Vista.) Mac OS 9 and OSX are also compatible. If you have a PC running Windows 98, you must  
install the driver found on the included CD-ROM BEFORE CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO  
YOUR PC.  
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 disc 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 file format). They may then be viewed, edited, renamed  
and saved using any photo or graphics software that accepts .jpg files. If you do not have software that  
will open .jpg files, you should install Roxio Photosuite 5 (Windows 98, 2000 or XP only) from the  
included CD-ROM. See “Software Installation” for instructions.  
3. After you have copied or opened and saved the photo files to your computers hard drive, you may  
disconnect the Imageview camera (NEVER disconnect the camera while files 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).  
4. See the following pages for full step by step instructions for downloading your photos to a computer.

3/12/07 4:01:04 PM  
System Requirements (Minimum)  
OS: Windows® 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista (PhotoSuite 5 is not compatible with Vista)  
CPU: MMX Pentium® 200MHZ equivalent or faster (Pentium® III 500 MHz for PhotoSuite5™)  
Memory: 32MB minimum (64MB recommended for PhotoSuite)  
SVGA video card w/2MB VRAM, 800x600 screen display, 16 bit High color  
200 MB available hard disk space (if installing PhotoSuite)  
Internal USB Port  
Soſtware Installation  
If you are using Windows 98, you must install drivers before connecting the camera to your PC. Insert the CD-ROM  
into your computer’s CD drive; it will auto-run and the install screen will be displayed. Select “Install Driver”, then  
follow the directions. After installation, restart your computer. Windows 2000, ME, and XP do not require drivers,  
as the camera uses the USB mass storage standard , allowing the photo files to be accessed as if they were stored on  
an external hard drive. For any Windows OS, if you are not already using photo editing software you prefer, you may  
install Roxio PhotoSuite® from the CD-ROM. Be sure to read the “Release Notes” completely, noting any tips or  
potential issues relevant to your PC configuration and OS.  
Note: With Windows Vista, you may encounter error or warning messages (“file missing”, etc) while  
installing PhotoSuite 5, but clicking “OK” and proceeding should allow the installation to finish.  
CAUTION: Make sure you download all photos/videos from your  
camera's internal memory before removing the batteries.  
Transferring e Photos & Videos to Your PC - Step by Step  
1. Be sure the driver has been installed first if you are on Windows 98/98SE.  
2. 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”.

Transferring e Photos & Videos to Your PC continued  
3. e LCD display will indicate “USB” along with a hard drive icon, and the ImageView will be  
recognized as a standard “USB Mass Storage” device. is means that the camera files can be easily  
viewed, edited, or copied to your hard drive, just as if they were stored on an external hard drive or a  
CD-ROM.  
4. (is step is not required with Windows XP, simply use the options in the pop-up window to view, copy  
or edit your photos). Open My Computer or Windows Explorer. e 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 (“100IMAGE” ,etc). Your photos/videos are  
the files inside-they have the prefix “IMG__” followed by a number, same as seen earlier on the camera’s  
display when you review photos. Single clicking any file should show a small preview image.  
5. 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 (“Hawaii Vacation”, etc), then click “OK” to transfer copies of the  
photo files you want.  
6. After the photos are transferred to your hard drive, you can disconnect the camera. Windows 2000  
may produce a screen warning that you have disconnected a USB device without stopping or ejecting  
the “disk” first (your photo files will not be harmed). If so, check the box that adds an icon to your  
system tray or taskbar. en next time you finish transferring photos, you can click that icon first, and  
“Stop the USB Mass Storage Device” before disconnecting the camera. (On Mac computers, you should  
“eject” the “disk” that appeared on your desktop when the camera was connected.)

3/12/07 4:01:05 PM  
Transferring e Photos & Videos to Your PC continued  
7. You’re now ready to open the photo files in any photo editing software. Just use File>Open and go to the folder  
where you stored the photos earlier. If you are using PhotoSuite, select File>Open Photo, then use the “Look in”  
pull down menu at the top of the Open window, select “My Computer”, select your hard drive, and double click  
any photo in the folder where you copied the files from the camera. It is also possible to open and work with your  
photos directly from the ImageView while it is still connected.To do this with PhotoSuite, first follow steps 1-3,  
then open PhotoSuite, select File>Open Photo and use the “Look in” menu to select My Computer, then select  
the “Removable Disk”, and open the folders inside until you get to the JPG photo files. 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. To do this in PhotoSuite, after clicking “Done”, answer “Save Changes?”  
with “Yes”, but then answer “Replace Existing File”? with “No” and use the “Save As” dialog box to save the edited  
photo in a folder on your hard drive (“Save In>Local Disk”), not the “Removable Disk” (camera).  
8. If you are new to photo editing on a computer, consult your software’s Help menu (PhotoSuite has extensive  
built-in Help) for tips on using its features. Along with adjusting the brightness, contrast, sharpness and color  
of your photos, you can resize the photo to fit 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 file, you may  
want to use “Save As” and give it a more descriptive name than “IMG___”. Doing this also preserves the original  
file 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” on your camera to make room for new images.

BINOCUlAR INSTRUCTIONS  
Your Bushnell binocular is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of pleasurable  
viewing. This portion of the booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining how  
you can adjust the binocular to your eyes, and how to care for this instrument. Read the instructions  
carefully before using your binocular.  
EYE ADJUSTMENTS (Figure 1)  
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.  
interpupiLLary Distance  
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.  
How to Adjust For Individual Eye Strength  
As individual eyesight varies from one person to another, most Bushnell binoculars have a diopter setting  
feature which allows you to fine-tune the binocular to your vision. Follow the focusing instructions below  
for your type of binocular.  
1ꢂ  
 
ImageView 111211 1LIM draft.indd14 14  
3/12/07 4:01:05 PM  
FOCUSING  
1. Adjust interpupillary distance. (Figure 1)  
2. Set the “diopter setting” (Figure 2) to zero and view a distant object.  
3. Keep both eyes open at all times.  
Fig. ꢀ  
4. Using a lens cover or your hand, cover the objective (front) lens of the  
same side of the binocular that has the “diopter setting.” This is usually  
the right side. (The left side on zoom models.)  
Diopter setting  
5. Using the center focus wheel, focus on a distant object with fine detail  
(e.g., brick wall, tree branches, etc.) until it appears as sharp as possible.  
6. Uncover the objective lens on the diopter side, cover the other objective lens, then view the same object.  
7. Using the “diopter setting” adjustment ring, focus the same object being viewed. Caution should  
be used as over turning or forcing the diopter eyepiece can cause damage or cause the eyepiece to  
break away from the chassis.  
8. Your binocular should be adjusted for your eyes. Focus at any far or near distances can now be  
attained simply by turning the center focus wheel. Make a note of the diopter setting for your eyes  
for future reference.  
EYECUPS (Figure 3)  
Your Bushnell binocular is fitted with rubber roll-down eyecups designed for  
Fig. ꢁ  
your comfort and to exclude extraneous light. If you wear sun/eyeglasses, roll  
down the eyecups. This will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens thus  
providing improved field of view.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE OF BINOCUlARS  
Your Bushnell binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would  
give any fine optical instrument. The Imageview is not waterproof, and should not be exposed to any  
source of moisture. Water damage is not covered by the warranty.  
1. If your binocular has roll-down, flexible eyecups, store it with the eyecups up. This avoids excessive  
stress and wear on the eyecups in the down position.  
2. Avoid banging and dropping.  
3. Store in a cool, dry place.  
4. WARNING: Looking directly at the sun with your binocular can cause permanent eye damage.  
5. Never expose your ImageView binocular to any type of excessive liquid or fluid, as it is not water/  
fogproof.  
6. Take the batteries out of your ImageView if you are not going to use it for a long period of time. (Make  
sure you download any pictures from your camera before you remove the batteries out of the camera.)  
ClEANING  
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush.)  
2. To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of  
a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent  
damage. A “microfiber” cleaning cloth (available at most photo dealers) is ideal for the routine  
cleaning of your optics.  
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid  
or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on  
the lens.
