II. How to Use Your Binocular
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 place them against your glasses.
Adjusting the Eyepieces
The distance between your eyes is usually different than the distance between
another person’s eyes. This distance is known as the interpupillary distance, or
IPD. Adjustment to your IPD is important to the proper use of you CaptureView:
1. Hold CaptureView up to your face in the normal viewing position, using both
hands to hold each barrel firmly.
2. Pull the barrels apart or push the barrels together until you see a single
circular field with both of your eyes.
Focusing the Binocular
1. Set the Diopter Scale on underside of CaptureView (1, Fig. 1) at its center
point between + and -.
2. Choose an object that is at least 16 feet (4.9m.) away.
3. Looking with just your left eye, rotate the Center Focus Knob (14, Fig. 1)
until the object you are viewing is in best focus.
4. Looking with just your right eye, rotate the Diopter Scale (1, Fig. 1) until the
object you are viewing is in best focus.
5. Now, looking with both eyes, both far and near objects can easily be
brought into focus with a turn of the Center Focus Knob.
III. How To Use Your Camera
CaptureView performs best under good lighting conditions. It takes some prac-
tice 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.
