Taking Still Photos
After completing the basic setup as described on the previous pages, you are ready to take a photo:
1. With the ImageView scope securely mounted on a tripod, raise the LCD display (G) and briey press and
release the ON/OFF button (A)-the power LED (H) lights and the startup screen is displayed, followed by
the live image from the camera lens. The display also shows the battery condition, number of photos
remaining, and the current resolution/quality settings. (Fig. 1, DISPLAY ICONS/MENU SCREENS)
2. The ImageView scope is already set up for high resolution and quality, as well as automatic exposure and
color balance when it is turned on for the rst time, so you’re ready to take photos under most conditions
with no need to change anything. For more details regarding the various available options and how to
change the settings from their defaults, please refer to the “Main Menu-Options and Settings” section
in this manual.
3. When the Eyepiece/Camera (F) select slider is in the “Eyepiece” position, the image formed by the
objective (front) lens is directed to the eyepiece rather than the digital camera sensor, so the LCD display
will not let you see the “live image”. In other words, the ImageView operates just like any conventional
spotting scope with no camera. The scope’s zoom eyepiece provides optical zoom from 15x to 45x
magnication, while the camera’s magnication is xed at approximately 22x. If you want to preview
the framing of your subject as you are looking through the eyepiece prior to taking a photo, rotate
the zoom ring so that the green dot on the ring is opposite the red index dot (this sets the eyepiece to
about 22x magnication). When you are ready to take a photo, be sure to move the slide lever over
to “Camera”-otherwise your photo will be partially or entirely black. Also, you will then be able to use
the LCD display for preview and review as you take photos-however, it is possible to take photos/videos
without raising or viewing the display, as long as the slider is in the Camera position.
4. Although the SNAP button (E) on the scope may be used to take photos, it is highly recommended that
