Introduction Meade CaptureView II is a full-featured binocular integrated with a digital camera that requires no film to take pictures. For best results, please follow these operating instructions to capture and download pictures. • Fully functional binoculars. • Take pictures and view them on your PC. • Takes up to two full minutes of video. • Download pictures to your PC for use with email, easy printing, editing, enhancing, and manipulating. JPG and AVI file formats available. • LCD display panel indicates capture status for ease in selecting and performing desired operations. • Automatic battery shut-off to conserve batteries. Important Note: Failure to remove batteries will result in lost pictures and dead batteries after several days of CaptureView II storage. The batteries will drain even after downloading pictures and deleting them from CaptureView II's memory. Please remove the batteries when not using the camera. Download pictures to your PC before removing the batteries. Removing the batteries will erase your images. II. Binocular Operation To enhance your viewing enjoyment, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with your new binocular: Adjustment of Eye Relief for Eyeglass Wearers For best results when viewing an object while wearing eyeglasses, fold down the rubber eyecups and hold them against your glasses. Adjusting the Eyepieces The distance between the pupils in a set of eyes varies from person to person. This distance is known as the interpupillary distance, or IPD. You can set the binocular so that it is adjusted for your own IPD: 1. Hold CaptureView II up to your face in the normal viewing position, using both hands to hold each barrel firmly. 2. Pull or push the barrels together until you see a single circular field with both of your eyes. Focusing the Binocular 1. Locate the Diopter Knob on underside of CaptureView II (1, Fig. 1a and Ib) and set it at its center point between plus (+) and minus (-) signs. Page 2 00 Discovery version 8x22 #2 8/14/03 4:09 PM Page 3 2. Select an object that is at least 30 feet (10m) away. 3. Viewing with just your left eye, turn the Center Focus Knob (2, Fig. 1a) until the object you are viewing is focused. 4. Viewing with just your right eye, turn the Diopter Knob (1, Fig. 1a) until the object you are viewing is also in focus. 5. Objects can now be brought into focus by turning the Center Focus Knob. III. How To Use Your Camera CaptureView II performs best under good lighting conditions. It also takes some practice to get used to high-magnification photography. We suggest that you take some time to practice capturing and downloading pictures. Depending on the available light and your distance from the object, captured images may not appear as bright or centered exactly as viewed through the binoculars. Inserting Batteries 1. To remove the battery compartment lid (10, Fig. 1b), gently pull to the rear and upward. 2. Insert 2 AAA-size batteries into the compartment, noting correct polarity as illustrated inside the compartment. Important Note: Download pictures to your PC before removing the batteries. Removing the batteries will erase your images. Also, be sure CaptureView II is off before changing the batteries. Turn on the Camera 1. Press the Mode button (4, Fig. 1a) to turn on the camera.
