III. How To Use Your Camera

CaptureView performs best under good lighting conditions. It takes some practice to get used to high-magnification photography. Take some time to practice capturing still pictures and movies. Depending on the available light and your distance from the object, captured images may not appear as bright or as centered as when viewed through the binoculars. Note also that CaptureView has a fixed focus (you cannot focus manually) and takes focused pictures even if the image in the binoculars is out-of-focus.

Inserting Batteries

1.Lift the battery compartment lid (13, Fig. 2) by squeezing the outer edges and then pulling forward.

2.Insert 2 AA 1.5v (user-supplied) batteries into the compartment, noting the correct polarity as illustrated inside the compartment.

Power Saving Features

If you do not press any of the buttons, the camera will automatically shut off after 2 minutes to save energy.

You can also turn off the LCD manually to further save battery power. While in Preview mode only (this feature does not operate in Menu mode), hold down the Left and Right buttons at the same time. The LCD screen will turn off.

However, you will be able to continue taking pictures or movies using the Shutter button. Press both buttons at the same time again to turn the LCD screen back on again.
