Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Meade
®
CaptureView
®
8 x 22mm full-featured
binocular. It is integrated with a digital camera that requires no film to capture
pictures or video. This manual is designed to quickly guide you through the operation
of your CaptureView. For best results, take a few moments to become familiar with
the operation of your device, and save the manual for future reference.
CaptureView has the following features:
• Fully functional binocular.
• Capture pictures and video, and view them on your PC.
• Use CaptureView as an 8x webcam
• Transfer pictures and video to your PC for easy printing and editing.
• E-mail pictures to your friends and family.
• LCD display panel indicates status for ease in performing desired operations.
Important Note:
Images in the camera will be lost if the batteries are depleted or
if the batteries are removed for more than 180 seconds (3 minutes). Accordingly,
change the batteries when they run low. Images will be maintained in memory for
approximately 3 minutes when changing batteries. It is recommended that you
download your images before changing the batteries.
To conserve battery life, remove batteries after downloading images to a
computer. There is continual battery drainage even when CaptureView is
turned off.
Be sure CaptureView is off before changing batteries.
WARNING!
Never use a Meade binocular to look at the Sun!
Looking at or
near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage
is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has
occurred until it is too late. Do not point the binocular at or near the Sun. Children
should always have adult supervision while observing.
