Flashback
icon
Use Flashback when you want to capture video
of short activities like these—without using up
all your memory. You can enter the record mode
for as long as you like, but using Flashback,
you’ll only save the last 10 seconds of video (or
if you prefer, you can also select 5, 15 or 20
seconds of recording time from the Flashback
Period menu option).

Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Meade® CaptureView® CV-5. CV-5 is an
8 x 42mm 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 CV-5. For best results, take a few
moments to become familiar with the operation of your device, and save the manual
for future reference.
A few of CaptureView’s many features:
•
•
•
•
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.
Important Note:
Images and video are saved in flash memory. This means that all images and
video are still saved when the batteries are depleted or removed.
Be sure CaptureView is off before changing batteries.
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.

the rubber eyecups and hold the
eyepieces up against your glasses.
Fold down
Barrel
Barrel

the normal viewing position. Use
Adjust the Barrels
both hands to hold each barrel firmly.
2. Pull the barrels apart or push the
barrels together until you see a
single circular field with both of your
eyes.
You need to adjust the barrels, as the
distance between your eyes is usually
different than the distance between
another person’s eyes.

CaptureView performs best under good lighting conditions. Take some time to
practice capturing still pictures and video. Depending on the available light and your
distance from the object, captured images may not appear as bright or centered as
viewed through the binoculars. CaptureView has a fixed focus (you cannot focus the
camera manually) and takes focused pictures even if the image in the binoculars is
out-of-focus.

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 submenu
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
on the Shutter button again to turn off
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
the menu to exit this mode.
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 25). 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 flash card reader, the flash card
looks like a hard drive to your com-
puter.
Note: If you wish to copy files to
or from your flash card, make
sure you change the Read-Write
setting on the flash card to
"Write."
Note: You may have to change
the drive letter using your PC's
Disk Management function if the
flash card tries to use a drive let-
ter that is already in use (e.g., E:).

Maintenance
Care of Your CaptureView
1. Never immerse CaptureView in liquid. 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. 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.
3. 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. Your CaptureView camera and PC must be connected before running the
CaptureView Manager program.
3. 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).
4. 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 disconnect
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.

cannot be disclaimed are hereby limited to a term of one year from the date of original retail pur-
