ADJUST THE SPOTTING SCOPE AND CAMERA

focus settings for the spotting scope. Set the focus ring at the front of the camera lens to the approximate distance to your main subject

in the camera’s memory. You will hear a single beep to confirm the photo was taken. The LCD will momentarily black out while the

photo is being stored, then display the photo you have taken for a few seconds. The LCD then returns to showing a “live” image. Note

that although the camera lens has a 15x magnification, same as the lowest setting on the scope eyepiece, the camera lens has a wider

field of view. This helps make aiming the camera less critical-if your subject was not framed the way you saw it in the scope, you can

right arrows to change the value as desired. Press “MENU” to confirm and return to the settings menu.

The following settings are provided:

1. EV (Exposure Value) lets you set desired amount of over (+) or under (-) exposure to override the auto exposure. If you review a

photo you just took, and it appears too dark or light, try adjusting the EV setting and reshoot. For example, snow scenes may require

a “+” EV setting if you want the snow to be reproduced bright white as it appears to the eye.

• Settings

: -2, -1.5, -1.0, -0.5,0, +0.5, +1, +1.5, +2

2. RESOLUTION sets the desired quality of the pictures. Use the highest setting if you plan to enlarge

photos or will need the best

quality. The lower settings are suitable for viewing on a PC. Use them if quantity is a priority over quality, or you don’t wish to

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the battery cover and insert batteries as directed in the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.

TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF

Raise the LCD display by swinging it out away from the camera body

. Press and hold the “ON /OFF ” button until power turns on,

as indicated by the red power indicator light

To turn the unit off, press and hold the “ON /OFF” button until you hear two beeps and the red light goes off. The camera will turn

itself off automatically to save batteries if none of the buttons have been pressed for two minutes (this default time may be changed,

see “Changing Camera Settings”).

TAKING A PICTURE

With the camera turned on, set the focus ring on the front of the lens for the approximate distance in meters or yards to the main

subject you are photographing. The close focus limit is about 25 meters/yards. Check the LCD display to find the best focus setting,

or as a shortcut, simply set the lens on the “25” mark for close subjects, “50” for mid-distance shots, or

scenes. When ready, press the “SNAP” button (use the button on the remote cable whenever possible) and the image will be stored

With the Imageview plugged in to your computer’s USB port, start PhotoSuite. From the File menu, select “Open Photo”. Using the

“Look in” pull down menu at the top of the Open window, select “My Computer”. Then select the “Removable Disk” which represents

the connected Imageview. Double click, or select “Open”. Then open the folders found in the “Removable Disk” until you see a series of

thumbnail photos with the file names (e.g., Dsc_001) below. Select one of the photos and double click or select “Open”. The photo will

open in the editing screen of PhotoSuite. Edit the photo if desired (use the Help menu in PhotoSuite if necessary), then click “Done”.

To save a copy of the edited photo to your hard drive, rather than back to the Imageview’s memory, answer “Save Changes?” with “Yes”,

but then answer “Replace Existing File?” with “No”, and use the Save As dialog box (“Save In” pulldown as you did earlier to “Look In”)

to navigate to a folder on your “C” drive or other desired storage location.

power. The magnification ring is typically found near the eyepiece. When rotating this ring, the image appears to zoom in and out. It may be necessary to re-focus

when the magnification is changed.

FOCUSING

Most focus rings are found in front of the eyepiece on the spotting scope body. By turning this adjustment, the image will sharpen until in focus. On some spotting

scopes, the focus ring is on or near the eyepiece.

USING THE TRIPOD

(Included with most spotting scopes, except special use spotting scopes)

To pan side to side or up and down, unloosen the tripod control handle by rotating it counterclockwise. To lock into a desired position, rotate the tripod control handle

clockwise.

CARE

Remote Shutter Release Note

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. 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.
