<: TIP:_ If you follow the suggestions for focus and exposure and your image does not appear to be in proper focus or exposure when viewed in © Playback, see the topics on blurry, dark, light, or grainy images in “Troubleshooting” on page 32.

Recording video clips 9

Focusing on the subject

When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera searches for focus within the focus brackets. When it finds focus, the focus brackets turn green.

If the focus brackets do not frame your subject, use

Focus Lock (see “Using Focus Lock” on page 11).

When the camera cannot auto focus, the focus brackets turn red. This indicates the picture may be out of focus because the subject is out of the focus range or the scene has low contrast.

If you are recording a video or taking a picture with a shooting mode (see “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus” on page 14) other than # Close-up or

© Super Close-up, and the camera cannot focus, it will still take the picture. Try releasing the Shutter button, reframing, and then pressing the Shutter button halfway down again. If the focus brackets are still red, try the following.

For pictures and video clips: If the scene has low contrast, use Focus Lock (see “Using Focus Lock” on page 11) and aim at a point on the subject that has more colors or crisp edges. For pictures only: + Select a shooting mode more appropriate for the scene you are capturing (see Shooting Mode under “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus” on page 14). + lfthe subject is too close (less than 300 mm or 11.81 in), move farther away from the subject or use # Close-up or Ë$ Super Close-up (see Close-up and Super Close- up under “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus” on page 14). + lfthe camera is set to # Close-up or & Super Close-up and cannot focus, the camera will not take the picture. Try one of the following: + Move within the # Close-up range (200-800 mm or 7.87-31.5 in) or &ÿ Super Close-up range (20-200 mm or 0.79-7.87 in) or set the camera to (Auro] Auto (see Auto under “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus”

on page 14). + In low contrast scenes, use Focus Lock (see “Using Focus Lock” on page 11).

Taking pictures and recording video clips

Use Focus Lock to focus on a subject that is not in the center of the picture, to capture action shots more quickly by pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur, or to focus in low light or low contrast situations.

1. Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets. In low light or low contrast situations, frame a brighter or higher contrast object.

2. Press the Shutter button halfway down.

3. Hold the Shutter button halfway down and re- frame.

4. Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

When you are taking a picture and press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera

also measures the light level to set the proper exposure.

If the camera determines the scene will require a very long exposure, a shaking hand

icon (*) appears. The camera will take the picture, but it may be blurry because it is

difficult to hold the camera still for the length of time required. Try one of the following:

+ Setthe flash to A4 Auto Flash or % Flash On (see “Setting the flash” on page 13).

+ Set the camera on a tripod or stable surface.

+ lfthe subject is out of the flash range or you do not have a tripod, set the shooting mode to (si) Steady Photo (see Steady Photo under “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus” on page 14).

Ë7 NOTE: When you are recording a video, the camera continuously updates exposure.

Your camera has both optical and digital zoom. Optical zoom physically extends the lens to make the subject of your picture appear closer. After you have extended the lens fully using optical zoom, the camera employs digital zoom. Digital zoom uses no moving lens parts.

< TIP: The more you zoomin on the subject of your picture, the more small movements of the camera are magnified (this is called camera shake). If #* appears when you press the Shutter button halfway down, the picture may be blurry. To reduce potential blur, see the suggestions in “Optimizing exposure” on page 11).

Optical zoom Optical zoom moves the lens between wide angle (1x) and telephoto (6x). While in &y Picture Capture or & Video Record, use the buttons on the Zoom lever to control zoom. Press 4 to zoom in and 444 to zoom out.

Ë NOTE: You can set the optical zoom to the position you want just before recording video clips. However, you cannot use optical zoom while the video clip is recording.

In digital zoom, the Image Display shows a yellow frame around the scene and the image

quality setting (MP value). As you zoom in, the scene expands to show what the camera

will capture, and the MP value decreases to indicate the resolution at which the scene

When capturing images using digital zoom, make sure that the MP value on the Image

Display is appropriate for the size at which you want to print the captured image. For MP

values and their recommended print sizes, see Image Quality under “Using the Picture

Capture and Video Record menus” on page 14.

To use digital zoom:

1. While in @ Picture Capture, press 4 on the Zoom lever to optically zoom to the maximum level, then release the lever.

2. Press and hold 4 until the image you want to capture fills the yellow frame. If you zoom in too far, press 444.

3. To return to optical zoom, press +.

Ë NOTE: Digital zoom is not available when recording video clips.

3 Setting options for taking pictures and recording video clips

Your camera's default settings work well for most shooting situations. For some situations, however, the features described in this chapter can improve the pictures you take and the video clips you record. In addition to setting features that optimize the camera for lighting and motion, you can also set the camera to take a series of pictures rapidly or take images 10 seconds after you press the Shutter button, giving you time to place yourself in the image.

Ag, | Auto Flash (Defauit)—The camera uses the flash necessary.

4, | Red-EyeThe camera uses the flash with red-oye reduction, if necessary. to minimize the possibility of human eyes appearing red in the final image. For information about red-eye, see “Flash Setting—Red-Eve” on page 13.

4 | Flash On=The camera always uses flash. the light is behind your subject, use this setting to increase the light on the front of your subject.

GG) | Flash Off--The camera does notuse flash. Use his setng Lo capture poony itsubjects beyond the flash range or to capture scenes with the existing light.

The flash setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or you turn off the camera.

É7 NOTE: The flash is set to © Flash Off in 2\ Landscape, 4 Sunset, and € Theatre shooting modes, with the Œi Burst setting, and while recording video clips. The flash is set to <$ Red-Eye in @ Night Portrait shooting mode.

Flash Setting—Red-Eye

The red-eye phenomenon is caused when light from the flash reflects off the subjects’ eyes, which can make human eyes appear red in the captured image. Using <% Red- Eye causes the camera to flash quickly up to three times to shrink the subject's pupils (reducing the effect of the red-eye phenomenon) before using the main flash and capturing the image. Since it takes longer to take a picture using this setting, make sure your subjects wait for the additional flashes.

A Managing batteries

Your camera uses two AA batteries, either Alkaline, Photo Lithium, or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH). Photo Lithium and NiMH batteries provide longer battery life than Alkaline batteries.

Top points about batteries

The batteries shipped with your camera are AA Alkaline. These batteries have a short life and are intended to let you begin using your camera immediately. When the camera warns that the battery charge is low (see “Power indicators” on page 40), HP recommends replacing them with Photo Lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries for longer battery life.

Fully charge NiMH batteries before using them for the first time.

The first several times you recharge NiMH batteries, they may not provide the number of shots per charge that you expect. Their performance will improve after the batteries have been charged, then discharged completely four or five times. You can use the camera normally to discharge the batteries during this conditioning period.

Always insert the batteries in the camera correctly (see ‘Install the batteries” on page 4). Ifthe batteries are inserted improperly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not operate.

If you do not intend to use your camera for more than one month, remove the batteries from the camera.

The performance of all batteries will decrease as the temperature drops. To improve battery performance, store the camera and batteries in a warm inside pocket when in a cold environment. To prevent short-circuiting the batteries, never carry small metal items such as Keys or coins in the same pocket with your batteries.

Extending battery life To conserve battery power, the Image Display turns off after a period of inactivity. Pressing any button wakes up the camera. After five minutes of inactivity, the camera turns off. To further extend battery life:

Display Brightness to Low (see Display Brightness under ‘Using the Camera Setup n page 31).

Set your camera to À4 Auto Flash (see Auto Flash under “Setting the flash” on page 13). Use optical zoom sparingly.

Safety precautions for using batteries

Always use two identical batteries of the same chemistry, brand, and age.

Do not place batteries in fire or heat them. Always store charged batteries in a cool location. Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to each other with any metal object.

Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects. Do not drop batteries into a change-filled pocket.

Do not pierce batteries or subject them to strong impacts or shocks.

Do not solder directly onto batteries.

Do not allow batteries to get wet.

Do not disassemble or modify batteries.

Managing batteries 39

+ Immediately discontinue use of a battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels excessively hot (note that it is normal for the battery to feel warm), changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.

+ In the event batteries leak and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. Ifleft untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

À CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Power indicators When the batteries are low, one of the following icons appears in the Image Display. If no battery icon appears in the Image Display, the batteries have sufficient power to function normally.

Battery level is low. Camera will soon power down.

Battery is depleted. Camera will power down.

É7 NOTE: Ifthe camera is without batteries for a prolonged period, the clock may be reset and you may be prompted to update it the next time you power on the camera.

Battery performance This graph shows the relative number of photos you can take using Photo Lithium, NiMH, and Alkaline batteries. Actual performance may vary based on usage, battery type, and battery manufacturer. Many additional factors affect the number of photos you can take (see “Top points about batteries” on page 39).

4 NOTE: For more information about batteries, go to www.hp.com/support and search on the code AA-400.

The following table shows how Alkaline, Photo Lithium, and rechargeable NiMH batteries perform in different types of use scenarios:

Type of Use Alkaline | Photo NiMH Lithium

Most economical if you take more than 30 pictures per month | Poor Fair Good

Most economical if you take fewer than 30 pictures per Fair Good Fair
