Introduction  
Congratulations on purchasing a Meade® CaptureView® CV-4. CV-4 is an  
8 x 30mm full-featured binocular. It is integrated with a waterproof 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 CV-4. For best results, take a  
few moments to become familiar with the operation of your device, and be sure to  
save this manual for future reference.  
A few of CaptureView’s many features include:  
Fully functional binocular.  
Digital camera that captures pictures and video.  
Color LCD display panel allows you to easily navigate the operational menus.  
Flashback feature allows you to easily record just the highlight of an activity.  
Designed to be used in a water environment. See A WORD ABOUT WATERPROOFING,  
page 30, for important information on this topic.  
WARNING! Never use your 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.

Other Menu Options  
If you want to...  
Do this...  
Use Flashback  
For example, you may want to record a  
baseball pitcher throwing a pitch:  
This feature is very useful when you  
wish to capture a short activity, but  
are not sure when it will begin.  
1. Select the Settings menu and press  
the Menu button.  
2. Select the Flashback Period sub-  
menu and press the Menu button.  
Select 10 seconds and press the  
Menu button.  
3. Select Back. Press the Menu button.  
4. Select Flashback and press the Menu  
button.  
5. Press the Shutter button to begin  
recording while the pitcher prepares.  
After the pitcher throws the ball, click

recording. “Saving” displays on the  
LCD screen.” You’ll have saved only  
the last ten seconds of the pitcher’s  
activity.  
6. Select Playback mode to review your  
movie. If you wish to perform another  
flashback recording, just press the  
Shutter button to begin recording  
again. Choose another setting from  
This feature captures video for a user-  
selected period of time (5, 10, 15 or 20  
seconds). Select the Flashback menu  
icon and press the Menu button to  
activate recording. You can record for  
as long as you like, but you will only  
save a recording for the period of time  
you have selected.  
For example, if you chose 10 seconds,  
only the last ten seconds of the  
recording will remain in memory and  
be saved—the rest of the recording is  
discarded.  
To select a period of time, go to the  
Flashback Period submenu (located in  
the Settings menu; see FLASHBACK  
PERIOD, page 23). The camera  
remembers the last setting you choose  
in this menu.

Some suggestions for using Flashback  
Let’s say your daughter is on the varsity basketball team. And right now, she’s  
dribbling down the court. You’d like to capture her patented hook shot on video.  
This is a job for Flashback.  
Select Flashback with a recording period of 10 seconds and press the shutter  
button as she sets off down court. The ball is passed back and forth, and is  
kicked out of bounds. But don’t touch the Shutter button just yet to stop the  
recording. Keep following the action.  
An opponent puts the ball back into play, your daughter steals the pass.....she  
sets....she shoots.....skyhook....she scores! Now press the Shutter button to stop  
the recording. The last ten seconds has been saved to video. Everything else—  
all the unimportant activity—is discarded.  
Using this method, you can record 7 or 8 of the best plays of the game (or more  
if you use a user-supplied flash card).  
Or let’s say your last name begins with “J” and your son is graduating from col-  
lege. The Dean begins calling the “J’s.” Select 20 seconds from the Flashback  
Period option in the Settings menu. Press the Shutter button to start recording.  
Finally the big moment arrives, it’s your young man’s moment in the sun. After  
he accepts his diploma and high fives the dean, press the Shutter button again  
and you’ll have this unforgettable memory saved to video.

A Word about Waterproofing  
CV-4 is designed to be used by the sportsperson, boater or casual user in an  
environment in which exposure to water, such as rain, mist, splashing and so forth,  
might be a possibility. However, it is not designed to take pictures underwater nor is  
it intended for any application underwater. In other words, it is intended to be resist-  
ant to accidental exposure to water. It is not designed for intentional submersion or  
extended use in water. If CV-4 is intentionally immersed in water for any  
significant length of time, the electronics and optics may be damaged or destroyed,  
and you risk voiding the warranty in doing so.  
Also note that although CV-4 may be used near a water environment, water on the  
lens will cause the images that you capture to be distorted, just as it would with any  
camera. Take the time to towel off the camera lens with a soft cloth before attempt-  
ing to capture an image. Also wipe off water from the entire device when you leave  
the water environment, and especially before storing.  
Make sure you observe the following directions before opening or closing the  
battery compartment in order to provide a water-tight seal for the electronics.  
Make sure that you are in a dry location before opening the battery cover for any  
activity.  
To open the battery compartment, press the tab down and push the  
battery compartment lid forward to open.  
To seal the compartment, close the lid and slide the tab up. The tab must be  
locked in the up position for the compartment to be properly sealed.

Maintenance  
Care of Your CaptureView  
1. Remove dust or stains with a soft cloth dampened with water or neutral detergent.  
Keep in a dry, cool dust-free environment or a container when it is not being used.  
Do not spray liquid cleaners directly onto LCD. Using only gentle pressure, wipe  
the LCD with a slightly dampened cleaning cloth.  
2. Avoid dropping CaptureView. Do not disassemble CaptureView.  
Troubleshooting  
It is very important to use the following connection and disconnection  
procedures to download pictures.  
1. Only connect CaptureView to your PC when the PC is on and Windows has  
completed loading.  
2. Avoid physically connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting the camera during a  
download session. Instead, disconnect the camera using Windows software:  
Right-click the USB on-screen icon and select disconnect (or connect to  
reconnect).  
3. Always disconnect CaptureView before shutting down the PC.  
If CaptureView is unexpectedly not recognized by the software program, close the  
program, disconnect the camera and reboot your PC. Only connect and discon-  
nect your CaptureView using the procedure outlined in this section.  
If you are using a Mac OS 9.0 or higher, drag the memory card icon to the trash  
before disconnecting the USB cable.
