IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ!
Due to the inherited limitations of any digital image sensor, video refresh rate will
be significantly slower during nighttime, resulting in visible image lag/delay when
using your monocular in the dark. It is important to take the following steps to
minimize this effect and ensure the best possible image and video recording quality:
-
During nighttime and in any dark condition always activate built-in IR
illuminator – it will provide extra light needed for the image sensor to
“speed up” its refresh rate and image delay will be minimized.
-
During nighttime you need to remove the daylight color enhancing filter –
it will block most of the Infrared light from the built-in IR illuminator
resulting in very dark image.
-
Always try to utilize a quality tripod for any video recording done at
nighttime. This will ensure steady placement and will minimize image delay
when filming a moving object.
BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT:
Your digital viewer is equipped with dual image brightness control. An automatic
picture optimization sensor adjusts the image according to the available ambient
and artificial light. In addition a manual Image Brightness Button (2) allows you to
fine-tune the image brightness to the most comfortable level. Please note that
during daylight you will need to tone the brightness down to avoid image flickering
and/or washout and to preserve the battery life. During nighttime you could
increase the brightness all the way up, however when utilizing built-in or external IR
illuminator, you may still need to tone the brightness down. Each momentary press
onto the IMAGE Button (2) will increase brightness by one level until it reaches
maximum level – then it will reset to the lowest brightness setting.
TAKING PICTURES AND RECORDING VIDEOS:
Your digital viewer has the ability to take High-Resolution pictures and record HD
videos onto the external Micro-SD card. 8GB card is included with your unit and it is
already installed into the SD-card slot. The Micro-SD card can be upgraded up to
128GB, which is especially useful if you plan to record a lot of videos See RE-
FORMATTING 64 & 128GB CARDS TO FAT32 FORMAT on page-14 for important
instructions.
Your monocular has a multi-use CAMERA button (3). It can be used to record video
and capture still images. You can switch the function of this CAMERA button by
activating the Main Menu (long press onto Super Controller (9)) and selecting Mode
function and then select either Video for video recording or Photo for still image
capture. Please refer to Page-6 for instructions on how to use Super Controller
and Menu options.
To take a still image, focus the unit onto the object you are viewing and with a
steady hand firmly press the CAMERA button (3) once. The display will give a
