BASIC SETUP
Setting the Diopter Adjustment
Before you begin taking photos, a simple one-time adjustment may be made to ensure that you can switch
over to “Camera” mode and take a sharp photo of any subject once you have it focused in the scope’s eyepiece.
This process will compensate for any variations in the eyesight or vision of the individual user:
1. Leave the rubber eyecup in its “up” position if you are not wearing glasses, or roll it down if you are.
2. Raise the LCD display (G) and move the slider (F) to the “Camera” position. Point the scope at a distant
object with ne detail such as a tree or sign, and adjust the Focus knob (O) until it appears as sharp as
possible on the display screen.
3. Move the slide lever back over to the “Eyepiece” position, and set the Zoom ring (N) so the green dot
(just left of 15x) is lined up with the red index dot. This is roughly the same magnication as what the
camera captures (about 22x). Look through the eyepiece. DO NOT READJUST THE FOCUS KNOB. If the
subject does not appear sharp to your eye, rotate the rubber diopter adjustment ring (J) at the base of
the eyepiece. This compensates for any dierence in between your vision and the correct focus for the
camera’s digital sensor and LCD display.
Once set, note the position of the silver dot on the diopter adjustment ring relative to the “+ /0 / -” scale on
the scope. With the diopter adjustment set to this position, you should be able to get sharp photos/videos
of a subject at any distance by simply adjusting the main focus knob while you look through the eyepiece,
then switching over to “Camera”. There is no need to re-adjust the diopter adjustment, unless you share the
ImageView scope with another user, or if your eyes become tired over a long period of use.
For important shots, you may want to take the precaution of double checking focus on the LCD display too. If
you are having trouble ne tuning focus when viewing the LCD, try pressing the UP arrow key (C) to zoom in
(up to 4x digital zoom is available), then focus. Be sure to use the DOWN key to zoom back to 1.0x (no digital
zoom, optical magnication only) after you adjust the focus if you do not want to use digital zoom when you
take the photo.
