INTRODUCTION About the NatureView Cam The Bushnell NatureView Cam is a digital wildlife observation camera. It can be triggered by any movement of wildlife in a location, detected by a highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, and then take high quality pictures (up to 8MP still photos), or video clips. The NatureView Cam consumes very little power (less than 0.2 mA) in a stand-by (surveillance) state. This means it can deliver up to six months stand-by operation time when the

Especially useful for those who set up multiple NatureView Cams to monitor large or widely separated areas. • Multi Flash Mode (LED Control)- prevents overexposed flash photos in close range applications And many more features such as HD Video with Audio, widescreen or fullscreen format still photos, imprintable camera name (user set) along with current data i

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD Before you begin learning how to use your NatureView Cam, you will first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to read the following directions and cautions: Loading Batteries After opening the two latches on the right side of the NatureView Cam, you will see that the NatureView Ca

When the batteries become weak, the low-battery indicator LED will glow blue, indicating the batteries should be changed (pg 7, Front View). Inserting the SD Card The NatureView Cam has 32MB of internal memory, which can hold only about 20 photos (@ 5MP resolution). This is handy for testing and getting familiar with the camera, but you will no doubt want to leave the camera unattended for longer than a day, so using an SD card is recommended for all models. Insert the SD card (with the ca

USING THE NatureView CAM Once you’ve prepared your NatureView Cam by properly installing batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside, strap it to a tree, switch it on and leave-and you might get some great photos that are exactly what you wanted. However, we highly recommend that you first spend some additional time indoors with this manual and your camera until you know a bit more about what the 3-way switch and those control keys do. If nothing else, you’ll probably want t

You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or stop at the SETUP position first to change one or more settings, then move the switch to ON after you have finished doing so. SETUP MODE In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the NatureView Cam with the help of its built-in LCD (or a monito

USING THE SETUP MENU TO CHANGE SETTINGS The main purpose of the SETUP mode is to allow you to change the settings of the camera’s parameters (18 different ones are available!) so your NatureView Cam operates exactly the way you want it to. You will do this by entering the SETUP Menu and pressing the keys below the LCD display, which will show you each parameter and its setting. Changing Parameter Settings in SETUP Mode A wide range of options or “parameters” are provided to allow you to se

Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger Feature Field Scan is a revolutionary new feature for the Bushnell NatureView Cam, which allows you to monitor a large area with time lapse images or video. When set to “On”, the NatureView Cam will take a photo (or record a video clip) automatically at your choice of intervals (for example, once every five minutes) during one or two blocks of time you set up for each day, without requiring a trigger from an active animal. This has the advantage of giving y

If desired, you can create a second block of time by pressing the DOWN key to select "B" (Step 4), then press OK and follow the same process to set Start and Stop times for Field Scan block "B" (Step 5). As an example of how you might use these two available time blocks, you could setup Field Scan time block "A" for the dawn hours from 6 AM to 8 AM, and block "B" to

5:30 and 7:00 PM. No Field Scan recording would occur from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM to 6AM. Remember, Field Scan recording is independent of normal triggers due to wildlife activity–even if no animals enter the IR sensor coverage zone, an image or video will still be captured every 15 minutes during the block(s) of time. If an animal triggers the camera “in between” the 15 minute intervals, it will be recorded, same as it would if you had setup the camera with Field Scan turned Off. Not
