Yes it does. I have only used the illumination once. Other then that never.

The previous comment is correct. Its main function is just to preserve battery if you're operating on 9V. Although, the smartest option if using battery would be to remove it when not in use so you don't run the risk of slow discharge or accidentally turning it on when its stowed away. Lesson learned when I traveled to a remote location in Afghanistan only to discover it was dead. I resorted in only looking at 'safe stones' rather than the rubies and sapphires I had intended on purchasing.

It is very usable without batteries in daylight.Go to the Bushnell web site to see what the " cross hairs" look like.

If it has the option of an illuminated reticle( which mine does) it will take batteries. I actually dont know which kind. I havent had to change them in the entire 2 years i had it. But i never really use the illuminated function. I can tell you the batteries are the small disk shaped kind. And they go right in the first top turret thats closest to your eye. Sorry i cant be much help. Also the optic came with the batteries.

Yes, you can use without the battery. With the battery the recording time is not long , less than two hours .This product is very good , I'm very happy , buy it for very little $ 140 d and quality sound recording and video is spectacular .

Great if you keep the battery warm. In the current 0F weather it's visible, but dim. Anything above about 25F seems to be best. Using it in the fall it was very bright even in full sunshine. Be careful it to point the scope towards the sun, even with the cover on.

No, it does not require batteries. It shoots very well, though it does need to be cocked after each shot.

The camera itself does not use batteries to operate. You can take pictures without batteries. The camera is, however equipped with a light meter that uses a discontinued mercury battery. There are replacements and adaptors that can be used to replace the battery. I have taken great pictures without the light meter during the daytime. You can also purchase a light meter that can be operated manually.I bought a light meter for low-light situations, I have yet to use it though. I hope this helps. I hav

Not sure - Always a good idea to disconnect it when not using it. It seems just like shooting tethered the battery will still drain even with the camera off.

Hi Glad to Help. Yes you can use it Off Camera. I use mine Off Camera alla the time with RadioTriggers but you can can shoot it with Optical firing (with your on CAmera Flash). It is a very powerful and easy to use Flash. You will not be Dissapointed if you buy it....Aaron

That's a good question that's a little difficult for me to answer, but I think I can do well enough. I've left mine on overnight, and it still had plenty of power the next day. I mostly shoot outdoors, in daylight. The black cross hairs work all of the time, so I don't use the illumination that often. You can't tell much difference. Indoors, and at night, I'll turn on the illumination just because it looks cool when I'm just messing around. I'm on my second battery since I bought the scope, and I've probably left it on overnight four times. I found the batteries online for about a buck a piece, and bought ten. I can't really give you a "runtime" on this. I would just say, unless you do a lot of shooting in low light, it should last for months.

well, it doesnt come with a battery, i bought it separate. But the battery I got lasts a good amount of time, i try to plug in my monitor if im near a plug, but on location i've had the battery last more than i needed to to. I was shooting for about 2 hours and just turning it on when i needed and i had no problems. I really like this product, i like it for using on my dolly and getting low to the ground with it attached on top of my camera so i can get low angles. hope that helps

I used my scope for our 2 weeks of rife season and turned it on every morning and left it on for the whole day. I had no problem with battery life for that duration.

If the power goes out it would stop working yes. It has a switch on the side of it so if you left it alone as soon as the power comes back on so will the camera. Hope this helps!

This is a NIGHT VISION scope, and it is meant for NIGHT use. It WILL damage it if used when it's lens cover is open in ANY bright light. The lens cover does have a small hole in it which allows you to see through it under ordinary lighting, BUT it is not very clear when used that way, and if it (even) accidentally opened in bright daylight it would probably destroy the scope. The scope is not really meant for daytime usage, and I wouldn't plan on using it at all in daylight.

Yes. The reticle is present through the lens and would usually need to be "illuminated" (switch on the side) in low light situations. With a dead battery you wouldn't be able to use the lens in low light situations effectively, but in daytime, the reticle is the same as any non-illuminated scope.
