If you will be taking a large number of photos at high quality settings, you may want to install an SD (Secure Digital) memory card with 32 MB or greater capacity (not included). Insert the card in the slot located between the binocular eyepieces, with the "corner notch" on the left as indicated, until it clicks into place. TURN ON THE CAMERA AND DISPLAY · Raise the end of the LCD display closest to the binocular focusing knob by pulling up on the sides of the display. Hold the ON/OFF button until the red power indicator light comes on. (If you have installed new batteries, you will see the "Clock Set" screen. Follow the directions in the manual under SETUP>Clock Set). The display will light briefly, then go out to save battery power. Press the DISPLAY button under the LCD to reactivate the display. 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 as needed (diopter adjustment) if the image does not appear equally sharp for both eyes. CHECK CAMERA SETTINGS · With the display on, press the small MENU button (center of 5-way switch), then use the "down" arrow key to check the camera settings. For the best quality photos under most conditions, these settings are recommended: EV: 0.0 (for average lighting conditions and subjects) Resolution: 2048x1536 (largest photo files, highest quality) White Bal: Auto Meter: Average (unless main subject is much lighter or darker than background-see METER under "Changing Camera Settings" for options) Image Quality: Best Setup: set "Auto Off " time, "Sound" (beep on/off ), and "Date Stamp" to your personal preferences. None of the setup items affect the quality of photos. TAKE A PHOTO · Holding the Imageview as steadily as possible with both hands, confirm that the image appears sharp on the LCD display. (If not, you are probably too close. Unlike the binocular optics, the camera focus is preset and is designed only for distant subjects that are 30 feet or more away from the camera). Lightly press the SNAP button to take the photo. The display will let you review the photo for a few seconds after you take it. If the exposure or color is bad, try adjusting the EV, Meter, and/or White Balance settings as described in the manual and reshoot. REVIEWING AND DELETING PHOTOS · Press the VIEW button to see a playback of your stored photos. Use the left/right arrow keys on the 5-way switch to step through the photos. To erase a photo from memory, pressing the MENU button four times in a row will delete it by: (1) Turning on the play menu, (2) Selecting DELETE, (3) Selecting DELETE ONE=OK, and (4) Confirming you wish to delete the photo. DOWNLOADING PHOTOS TO YOUR COMPUTER · If you are using Windows 98, be sure to install the driver first from the CD-ROM as directed in "Software Installation". If you do not already have photo software you prefer to use, install Roxio® PhotoSuite 5 from the CD. Connect the supplied USB cable between the Imageview and your computer. Open Windows Explorer. Under "My Computer" the Imageview will appear as a new "Removable Disk". Your photos are .jpg files inside the folders found in this "Disk". Open the folders, then select and drag (or copy/paste) the photo files to a folder on your hard drive. You are then ready to open and work with the photos using PhotoSuite or the photo software of your choice, and may then delete the old photos from the Imageview memory. After you finish downloading, right click on the "Removable Disk" icon in Windows Explorer and select "Eject" before disconnecting the Imageview. If you get an error message, use "Add/Remove Hardware" in the Windows Control Panel instead-it will direct you how to "Unplug or Eject Hardware".
