To view the movie, you must download the video to your com- puter (see “Downloading Image Files” section). You can then use a variety of video viewing programs, such as Windows Media Player, to watch your movie.

Using the eView as a Webcam

Another handy feature of the eView is its ability to be used as a simple webcam. When in webcam mode, the eView will deliver live real-time images from the camera directly to a computer screen for virtually simultaneous viewing. This feature is espe- cially useful for security purposes. Of course, you will need to connect the eView to a computer to use the webcam functional- ity.

1.With the camera in preview mode, press the ON/MODE button. This will take you to the eView’s internal menu.

2.Use the up and down Function Selection buttons to scroll to the “PC Camera” menu selection. Press the CAMERA/ SET button to select this function, and the eView will “beep”, confirming the selection.

3.Use the up and down buttons to scroll to “EXIT”, and press the CAMERA/SET button to return to preview mode.

4.Connect the eView to your computer using the supplied USB cable.

5.Click on the Windows “Start” menu at the bottom left hand side of your computer screen. Choose “Program”, then “DBC”, then “PC Cam”. In the “Options” menu, select “Preview”, and you should now be viewing live images from the eView on your computer screen.

To exit the webcam, close the “PC Cam” program on your computer, and disconnect the USB cable.

Selecting Resolution

There are two image resolutions available for the eView’s camera. The “HI” resolution (1600x1200 pixels) setting should be used for most applications where high image quality is required, especially if the image will be enlarged. However, if only minimal image quality is required (i.e. the final image size will be kept small), the SD card can hold more pictures if the “LO” resolution (640x480 pixels) is used. To select image resolution:

1.With the camera in preview mode, press the ON/MODE button. This will take you to the eView’s internal menu.

2.Use the up and down Function Selection buttons to scroll to the “Resolution” menu selection. Press the CAMERA/ SET button to enter this function.

3.Use the up and down buttons to select “HI” or “LO”. Press CAMERA/SET button to enable the setting.

4.Use the up and down buttons to scroll to “EXIT”, and press the CAMERA/SET button to return to preview mode.

The “HI” resolution is the default setting, so if no changes are made, the camera will take high resolution images.

Indoor Fluorescent Frequency

This feature can be used when taking pictures indoors under fluorescent lighting. For best image quality and contrast, you

can select between 50Hz and 60Hz, depending upon the fre- quency of the lighting used.

1.With the camera in preview mode, press the ON/MODE button. This will take you to the eView’s internal menu.

2.Use the up and down Function Selection buttons to scroll to the “Hz” menu selection. Press the CAMERA/SET but- ton to enter this function.

3.Use the up and down buttons to select “50Hz” or “60Hz”. Press CAMERA/SET button to enable the setting.

4.Use the up and down buttons to scroll to “EXIT”, and press the CAMERA/SET button to return to preview mode.

Format

The format function essentially deletes all images and mov- ies stored in the SD card. Make sure you have downloaded anything you wish to keep onto your computer before refor- matting the SD card. To format the SD card:

1.With the camera in preview mode, press the ON/MODE button. This will take you to the eView’s internal menu.

2.Use the up and down Function Selection buttons to scroll to the “Format” menu selection. Press the CAMERA/SET button.

3.Use the up and down buttons to select “YES”. Press the CAMERA/SET button.

Once the SD card has been reformatted, the eView will go back into its internal menu. Use the up and down keys to select “EXIT” and press the CAMERA/SET button to get back to preview mode.

Basic Maintenance

Usage Guidelines

To avoid damage, do not use the eView under the following conditions:

Temperature is lower than 41° or higher than 104°F.

Very damp or dusty environments.

Areas emitting strong electromagnetic fields (i.e. under power lines or power stations).

Storing and Transporting

When not in use, the eView should be kept in its case with the caps on. The instrument should be stored in a cool dry place; storing it in a moist environment will result in mold growth and destroy the optics. This is not covered by warranty. If the eView is stored long-term, we recommend removing the batteries.

When transporting the eView, common sense prevails. Avoid excessive bumping or rough handling, as the binoculars’ opti- cal alignment may be affected. Do not bring the eView out in the rain, but if water does get on the exterior, wipe it off imme- diately with a soft cloth or towel. When bringing the instrument from the cold outdoors back inside a warm house, leave it in a cool, dry area for a couple of hours. It is important to then open up the case, remove the instrument, remove the caps, and let everything dry out.
