framed is at least that distance away, or the focus of the image

Reviewing Images on the LCD Screen

After you have taken several pictures, you may want to review 
the images stored in the SD card to determine which ones you 
want to discard and which ones you want to keep.
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 “Review” menu selection. Press the CAMERA/SET 
button to enter the review mode.

3.   Use the up and down buttons to scroll through the images 

currently stored in the SD card. 

4.   Select the image you wish to delete. Press the ON/MODE 

button. You are now on the eView’s delete screen (Figure 
4).

5.   Use the up and down arrows to select “1” from the choices 

at the bottom of the screen and press the CAMERA/SET 
button. The image selected is now deleted from the SD 
card. If you want to delete all images currently stored in the 
SD card, select “ALL” instead of “1”.

6.   To exit the review mode, press the ON/MODE button, and 

select “EXIT” from the choices on the bottom of the delete 
screen. Press the CAMERA/SET button to exit. This will 
take you back to the eView’s internal menu. To get back to 
regular preview mode, use the up and down arrow keys to 
select “EXIT” from this menu, and press the CAMERA/SET 
button.

Another easy way to review images is to simply press either 
the  up  or  down  button  when  the  eView  LCD  is  in  preview 
mode. You can then scroll through full screen images to see 
what your pictures currently stored in the SD card look like. You 
cannot delete images when reviewing in this way, however. To 
exit, press the ON/MODE button to return to the eView’s inter-
nal menu, select “EXIT”, and press the CAMERA/SET button.

Turning the eView Off

With the camera in preview mode, press the ON/MODE but-
ton. This will take you to the eView’s internal menu. Then use 
the up and down Function Selection buttons to scroll to the 
“Power Off” menu selection. Press the CAMERA/SET button, 
and the eView will turn off.

Downloading Image Files

Transferring  images  from  the  SD  card  to  your  computer  is 
quite easy. The eView acts as an external hard drive, so you 
can easily “click and drag” image files from the eView to your 
PC. But first you’ll need to connect the eView and computer 
with the USB cable.
1.   Make sure the eView is off, and open its rear hatch (Figure 

1). Plug the USB cable into the jack near the SD card slot.

2.   Plug the other end of the USB cable into your computer. You 

will hear two “beeps” indicating the eView is now actively 
connected to the computer.

3.   Click  on  the  “My  Computer”  icon  on  the  PC’s  desktop 

screen.

4.   Click on the “Removable Disk” icon under the heading of 

“Devices with Removable Storage”.

5.   Click on the folder “DCIM”.
6.   Click  on  the  folder “100Image”. The  image  files  (and/or 

video files) will now be displayed. You can now use image 
processing software (such as the included Photo Explorer) 
to manipulate and save the images. Or you can just “click 
and drag” the images to your PC desktop for processing 
later.

Other Camera Functions

Besides taking pictures, the eView is also capable of making 
movies and acting as a webcam. In addition, there are several 
other built-in functions designed to give you flexibility in adjust-
ing camera settings for your specific usage.

Making a Movie

The eView is capable of recording video up to 80 seconds in 
length.
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 “Movie” menu selection. Press the CAMERA/SET 
button to select this function.

3.   Use the up and down buttons to scroll to “EXIT”, and press 

the CAMERA/SET button to return to preview mode.

4.   Press the CAMERA/SET button to begin taking the movie. 

You will hear a single “beep” when the camera begins to 
record the video. The small green LED light on the front of 
the LCD screen will be shining. The LCD screen itself will 
still appear in preview mode. 

5.   When done making the movie, press the CAMERA/SET but-

ton again.

Figure 4. 

The eView delete screen allows you to select one or all 

images in the SD card for deletion.
