How to Get Started with the EyeClops BioniCam

Fast and simple, you'll be up and running in no time.

• Insert five AA batteries (not included) into the belt clip battery pack,
• Insert the included USB memory stick into the top of the BioniCam, and
• Turn the unit on.

With the camera's ergonomic shaped handle in one hand, you can focus on any number of everyday objects--such as coins, fabric, carpet, leaves, spices, your pet's fur, or your own hair and skin. The magnified images appear in real time and full color on the LCD screen or you can view them on TV.

Easy to use buttons are just below the screen that allow you to:

• navigate the menu,
• select video or photo options,
• review your gallery, and
• delete unwanted images.

A zoom dial offers either 100x, 200x or 400x magnification. To focus an image, twist the I.R.I.S. lens attachment until you achieve the results you're looking for. Patience and practice. Crisp images take a little time to master, especially at the highest magnification.

Easy Set Up - No Software Needed for the BioniCam

With minimal set up and no software to upload, the BioniCam makes sharing recent discoveries easy. Plug the USB memory stick directly into your computer for quick access to images, then save and edit them. Even better, you can use the included video cable to display images on your TV. This makes reviewing huge enlargements in real time a fun group activity.

Make Memories with Family Fun

The hand-held magnification "eye" is fun to hold and makes it easy for your child to explore the microscopic world without complicated scientific instruments. Viewing the magnified images on your computer or TV screen in full, vivid color encourages kids to take learning into their own hands and provides numerous opportunities for parents and children to play fun and educational games together.

The excitement of seeing objects in your child's everyday world magnified to up to 400 times is sure to be a hit with whole family. Fortunately, the lightweight, durable plastic unit fits comfortably into both small and large hands. And if you need some help getting started, the easy-to-read instruction booklet offers lots of tips for finding items that hide interesting textures, from pine needles to sponges and insects.

NOTE: Due to the high magnification, there is a learning curve in learning how to steady and focus the camera for good results. Also it could have used a brighter light source.
