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.

How to Use Your Binocular  
If you want to...  
Do this...  
Adjust Eye Relief  
If you wear eyeglasses, fold down  
the rubber eyecups and hold the  
eyepieces up against your glasses.  
Fold down  
Barrel  
Barrel  
1. Hold CaptureView up to your eyes in  
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.

How to Use Your Binocular  
If you want to...  
Do this...

telephone pole) that is at least 50  
feet (15m.) away.  
3. Looking with only your left eye,  
rotate the Focus Knob until the  
object you are viewing is focused.  
4. Looking with only your right eye,  
rotate the Diopter Scale until the  
object you are viewing is focused.

the Focus Knob to focus on both far  
and near objects.

Install Batteries  
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.

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 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
