3.4 FUNCTIONS
3.4.1 MERLIN BIRD ID
To launch the MERLIN BIRD ID bird
identification support, turn the mode
selection wheel to the bird symbol.
A circle divided into four segments
will then appear on the display. Two
different sizes of circle can be selected for identification
support. For effective identification support, it is important to
select the correct size of circle. For birds a short distance
away, choose the larger circle. If the bird is further away,
choose the smaller one. Use the arrow button to select the
correct circle size.
Once you have selected the correct size and placed the bird
to be identified in the center of the circle, depress the release
button to the first perceptible press point and hold. The AX
VISIO will then start to analyze the observation situation.
Depending on the probability of success of the identification
support, each of the segments of the circle will consecutively
be displayed in bold (for details of the individual quality
criteria, please refer to the table below). The situation will
continue to be analyzed for as long as you hold this first
perceptible press point, and you can then decide on the best
moment for identification support and to take a photo. To
complete the identification process, press the release button
all the way and then remove your finger from the button. Iden-
tification support is then completed and the result is shown in
the lower area of the display.
If you find the circle display distracting while observing,
you can briefly press the ON/OFF button to deactivate or
reactivate the display.
The result of the identification, including a photo, is saved
on the AX VISIO, and can later be downloaded to a smart-
phone. If no identification was possible or if you would like
more information about the result, you can use the MERLIN
BIRD ID or the SWAROVSKI OPTIK Outdoor app to transfer
the photo to a smartphone. You can then use the MERLIN
BIRD ID app on the smartphone to identify the photo again.
