Quick Start Guide
1.
The camera is powered by two AAA batteries (not included). Slide the battery cover open (see arrow on
cover) and insert batteries, using the polarity marks inside for reference. A battery indicator on the lower
left corner of the display indicates remaining power.
2.
The camera has 16 MB of internal memory, so you can take photos anytime without using a card. To be
able to take more photos without having to stop and download them frequently, you may use SD cards
(not MMC cards) up to 32 GB capacity. Insert a new SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing
up) in the slot. The card will click into place. Push the card in slightly to release and remove it. Turn off
the camera’s power before inserting or removing a card. Cards that have been previously used in other
devices should be formatted by the camera before taking photos (see “Review Mode”: Format)
Pull the LCD display up to viewing position, by grasping the indented areas on each side. Briefly press
the POWER button. The red power LED will turn on, and the LCD will display a “Bushnell” logo, then go
to black (to conserve battery life). Press the Display button to turn the LCD back on. Pressing Display
again will first turn off all screen icons, then turn the entire display off (camera power remains on). The
entire camera will automatically turn off after one minute if it has been inactive (no buttons pressed).
This can be changed, using the“Auto Off”option in the camera’s menu. To turn the camera off manually,
briefly press the POWER button. The default camera settings will provide optimum quality under most
conditions, but you may want to set the date since it will be imprinted on photos by default (you can also
turn it off using the menu options).
3.
4.
To set the current date and time for imprinting, press MENU. Press the Down arrow key 7 times to
highlight “CLOCK SET”, then press MENU again. Now set the Year, Month, Date, Hour, and Minute, using
the Up/Down arrow keys to make changes, and the Right key to move to the next field. Once the date
& time have been set, press the MENU button again. Press the Down arrow key once to highlight “DATE
STAMP”, press MENU, then highlight your preference: Month/Day/Year orYear/Month/Day order, or select
“OFF” if you don’t want to imprint the date on your photos. Press MENU to confirm your setting, then
keep pressing the down arrow key to highlight “Exit”. Press MENU again to return to the “live” preview
4
display. Note: you may need to reset the date/time after changing batteries.
5.
To take a still photo, hold the camera steady with both hands and press the SNAP button. The camera
focus is preset to take sharp photos from approximately 35 feet to “infinity”. To shoot a video, press the
right arrow key three times until the red movie camera icon appears at the top right corner of the display
(see below). You can then start shooting the video at any time by pressing SNAP. To stop recording the
video, press SNAP again. Note: if the power is turned off, then back on, the camera will return to still photo
mode.
6.
7.
When using a tripod, you can help avoid the effects of camera shake by plugging the supplied remote
shutter release into the jack above the SD card slot, and using the button on the remote rather than
SNAP to take photos.
To review or playback a still photo or video, press the View button. You will see the most recent still
photo or video (first frame). To review previous photos or videos one at a time, press the Left arrow key.
The top left corner of the display will indicate “AVI” instead of “JPG” if the file is a video. The file number
is shown on the lower left of the display, and the resolution (of still photos) or length in seconds (for
videos) is shown on the right. To play back a video, press the SNAP button (press again to stop playback).
To see “thumbnail” images of multiple stored photos/videos at once, press the Display button. Use the
Left/Right arrow keys to select an individual file, then press Display again to see it full frame. To delete
a photo or video, press MENU. “DELETE ONE” is the first option in the PLAY menu (only the currently
displayed photo/video will be deleted-use “FORMAT” if you want to delete all files from memory). Press
MENU again, then the Up arrow key to highlight OK. Press MENU to delete the photo or video, then press
View to return to the review screen. Press View again to switch to the live preview screen when you are
ready to take more photos or videos.
Your ImageView is ready to use right away- it is not necessary to “go into the menu” before taking photos.
However, your percentage of successful photos (especially under less than ideal conditions) will increase if
you read the rest of this manual and understand how to use the available options and settings, as well as the
section covering “Downloading the Photos & Videos to Your PC”.

Loading Batteries
Turn the ImageView over, and slide open the battery cover as indicated by
the arrow, setting it aside. Insert 2 AAA Alkaline or Lithium batteries into the
compartment in the direction indicated by the polarity marks inside, then
replace the cover and slide it back into place until it clicks. Note: Rechargeable
NiMh type batteries may also be used, but some may not deliver adequate
current to power the ImageView. AAA NiMh batteries with a current rating of
850 mAh or higher are recommended.

Using the Internal Memory and SD Cards
The camera’s 16 MB internal memory can store from a minimum of only 3-4 (at 3264x2440 resolution and
Best quality) up to hundreds of photos, depending on resolution and quality settings you choose in the
main menu. A “countdown” indicator on the lower left of the display shows the remaining number of photos
that the available memory can hold. When no more photos will fit in the available storage, a “Memory Full!”
message appears. To expand the available storage, you may add an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory
card, with up to 32GB capacity. MMC cards, which look similar to SD cards, are not recommended. The card is
inserted into the slot on the back of the camera pod, with the“notched”corner on the left as indicated by the
card icon below the slot. Insert the SD card with the label side facing down. Note: be sure the power is turned
off before inserting or removing cards to prevent possible loss of files or damage to the card. A new card will
not require formatting, but a card that has been previously used in other devices (cameras, PDAs, etc) should
be formatted by the ImageView before beginning to take photos or videos (see “Format” in the Review Mode
section of this manual for details). Note that formatting will erase all files previously stored on the card,
so be sure they have been downloaded or copied first if you wish to keep them.

Basic Binocular and Camera Setup
Before you begin using it, you’ll probably want to take a few moments to set up the ImageView for your
individual eyesight and user preferences. Leave the rubber eyecups in their “up” position if you are not
wearing glasses, or roll them down if you are. Grasp the left and right sides of the binocular, and pull them
apart or push them together while looking through the binocular to adjust the eyepiece spacing until your
view is a single circular image. Find a distant object with fine detail (tree, sign, brick wall, etc), and adjust the
center focus knob until the object appears sharp when viewed through the left binocular eyepiece only. Then,
looking at the same object through just the right side of the binocular, simply rotate the right eyepiece until
the image is equally sharp for your right eye. This is called the diopter adjustment, and compensates for any
difference in sight between your left and right eyes. Once set during this initial procedure, you can leave the
diopter adjustment alone and just use the center focus knob to bring objects at any distance into sharp focus
through the binoculars (the minimum focus distance is about 15 feet).
Your digital photos and videos are not affected by the center focus knob, as the camera lens located
between the binocular’s objective lenses does not require focusing. It is preset so that objects ranging from
approximately 50 feet and farther away will be in focus. Note that the binocular is capable of focusing closer
than the camera. Check the live preview image on the LCD display to make sure you are far enough away to
ensure sharp photos. The camera lens provides 8x magnification, which is the same as the binocular’s optics,
and is aligned so that and object centered in the binocular’s view will also be centered in your photos or
videos. Therefore, it is not necessary to have the LCD turned on or even raised while you are shooting photos
or videos. Reducing use of the LCD will extend battery life significantly. Pressing the Display button will turn
the LCD screen off but leave the camera powered on, ready to take photos anytime you press SNAP.
You may want to go into the camera’s main menu and set the correct date before using the camera for the first
time, since the date stamp (imprint) feature is turned on by default (but can be defeated if you wish). Please
refer to Step 4 under “Basic Setup” for details.

Taking Still Photos
After following the initial setup as described in the previous pages, you are ready to take a photo:
1.
2.
Raise the LCD and press the POWER button briefly (red LED lights, Bushnell logo screen appears, then
display goes black). Press the Display button to turn on the LCD again if you want to see a preview of the
“live”image or check menu settings, battery condition, etc via the display icons.
The ImageView will default to high resolution and quality settings, as well as “everything on automatic”
when it is turned on for the first time, so you can take excellent photos right away. If you prefer to use
different settings, refer to the section “Using the Main Menu” for directions regarding how to find and
change settings such as resolution and exposure and other options.
3.
4.
5.
You may compose your photo while looking through the binocular (the LCD does not need to be
on to take a photo). However, for the most accurate framing, checking the LCD preview display is
recommended.
Be sure you are not closer than approximately 50 feet from your subject. The binocular optics will focus
closer than this, but the camera focus is preset to take photos of distant subjects (no focusing is necessary
for the camera). The LCD may be used to verify that the subject is not too close for sharp results.
Hold the camera as steady as possible with both hands and slowly squeeze the SNAP button. The
display will “freeze” briefly while the file is stored, then you are ready to take another photo. The 4-digit
counter on the lower left will count down to indicate the number of remaining photos as you use up the
available internal or card memory. Once the display indicates “Memory Full” when SNAP is pressed, you
are out of memory (storage space) and should download any photos you wish to keep so they may be
deleted, or you may remove the full card and install another SD card.
6.
Digital zoom up to 3x is available. Press the Down arrow key to zoom in (note the“Wide to Tele”indicator
bar at the bottom of the display). Press the Up arrow key to zoom back out. No digital zoom is used
(optical magnification only) when the W>T zoom indicator bar goes out after you zoom all the way back
to the left (“W”).
8
7.
Press the View button if you wish to check the photo after you take it, then press it again to return to a
live preview.
See the section “Review Mode” section for more detail about reviewing and deleting previously taken
photos.
Warning: Use care during handling to avoid touching the camera lens (located front center between the
binocular lenses) to prevent degrading the image quality.
Clean the camera lens only with dry lens tissue or microfiber cloth. DO NOT use liquids of any type.
Selecting and Using the Video Mode
1.
2.
Follow steps 1-4 on the previous page, “Taking Still Photos”
To change from still photo to video mode, press the Right arrow key 3 times, until the movie camera icon
is displayed at the top right area of the LCD. You are now in Video Mode. Press SNAP to start recording a
new video clip, and press it again to stop recording and store the video in memory. The recording time
is limited only by the amount of internal or card memory currently available. You may record a single
long video until you run out of memory, or multiple shorter videos by stopping and starting recording
whenever you wish by pressing SNAP. The counter on the right side of the display shows the elapsed
time in seconds since the recording was started.
3.
Press the View button if you wish to check a video after you shoot it. Press the SNAP button to begin
playback, press it again to stop playback. Press the Left arrow key to review your previous video or
still photo files. Pressing the Display button will let you see a “thumbnail” review of multiple files-use
the arrow keys to highlight the file you wish to review, then press Display again to select and view it.
When you are ready to return to the live preview display to shoot more videos (or stills), press the View
button.
See the section “Review Mode”for more detail about reviewing and deleting previously taken videos.

Using The Main Menu-Options and Settings
As mentioned earlier in this manual, your ImageView is already set for high resolution and quality right out
of the box. Exposure, white balance, and other variables are set automatically. This means that you will get
good results for most subjects and lighting without the need to go into the menus and change any settings.
However, we recommend that you become familiar with the available options so that you can improve your
photos if, for example, you decide they are coming out too dark (common for snow scenes with most cameras),
or too green (under many fluorescent lights). Press the Menu button to enter the main menu. Use Down or
Up arrow keys to highlight an option within the menu, then press MENU if you wish to change the settings
for that option. Use the Left/Right arrow keys to select the setting you want, then press MENU to confirm this
setting. The main menu contains a submenu, called “Resolution”, with separate settings for still photo and
video resolution. Select “Exit” after using the Resolution submenu to return to the main menu. Here are the
options and settings available in the main menu (Default settings are shown in Bold).

System Requirements
OS: Windows® 2000/ME/XP/Vista/Windows 7 or Mac OS 9/OS X
Internal USB Port
Downloading the Photos & Videos to Your PC
1.
Turn on the Imageview’s power. 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”.
The LCD display will indicate “Mass Storage”, and the ImageView will be recognized as a standard “USB
Mass Storage” device. This 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.
2.
3.
Open“My Computer”orWindows Explorer on your PC (if your PC is running Windows XP or a later operating
system, you may simply use the options in the pop-up window to view, copy or edit your photos). The camera
is the device identified as“BUSHNELL”with an unused drive letter assigned to it (on Mac computers, it will
appear on your desktop). Double click this “Bushnell” storage device, open the “DCIM” folder inside, then
the folder(s) inside that (“100MEDIA” ,etc). Your photos/videos are the files inside-they have the prefix
“HUNT__”followed by a 4-digit number. To view the photos, change to a Filmstrip or Thumbnail file view,
or double click a file name to open it with your default PC program.
4.
5.
From the “My Computer” menu bar, select “Edit>Select All”, or click on one photo file (Contol+click to
select multiple photos), then select“Edit>Copy to Folder”. Choose an existing folder on your hard drive,
such as “My Pictures”, or create a new folder (“Hawaiian Vacation”, etc), then click “OK” to transfer copies
of any or all of the photo files you want from the camera to your hard drive.
After the photos are transferred to your hard drive, you can disconnect the camera. Some older Windows
OS computers 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. Then next time you finish transferring photos, you can click that icon first,
and “Stop the USB Mass Storage Device”before disconnecting the camera*.
15
Downloading the Photos & Videos to Your PC
6.
You’re now ready to open the photo files in any photo editing software. Just go to the folder where you
stored the photos earlier and select File>Open. It is also possible to open and work with your photos
directly from the ImageView while it is still connected. If you choose to work this way, from a connected
camera, be sure that you save the photo (when finished editing) to your hard drive, and not the camera’s
memory or card.
7.
If you are new to photo editing on a computer, consult your software’s Help menu 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 will likely want to
use“Save As”and give it a more descriptive name than“HUNT___”. Doing this also preserves the original
file as a backup if you decide to make different edits later. Make sure you have successfully transferred
all the photos you wanted to save before using “Delete One” or “Format” in the Review menu to delete
your old files to make room for new images.
* On Mac computers, you should “eject” the “disk” that appeared on your desktop when the camera was
connected.
Note: If your PC will not play the .avi movie files in Windows Media Player, you may need to download a newer
version of Media Player or Direct X from Microsoft.com. The movie files can also be played back with the
QuickTime Player, included with many computers, or available as a free download from Apple.com.
