  • Page 8 SYNCFOCUS SETUP (Reticle & Diopter) Once set, note the number on the left and right binocular tubes that the index mark on each eyecup is lined up with.

    TAKING STILL PHOTOS After completing the basic and Syncfocus setups as described in the previous pages, you are ready to take a photo: Raise the LCD display and briefly press and release the ON/OFF button-the startup screen will appear, followed by the live image from the camera lens. The display also shows the battery condition, number of photos remaining, and the current setting of various options.
  • Page 10 TAKING STILL PHOTOS The “remaining photos” 4-digit counter in the lower left corner of the display above the battery indicator will drop by one number after each photo (or two, depending on your subject and settings) is taken. Once it reaches “0000”, and the display indicates “Memory Full !” when SNAP is pressed, you are out of memory (storage space) and will need to download the photos you have taken so they can be deleted to make room in the memory for new photos, or you may remove the filled up card and install another SD card if you are on a trip away from your computer.
