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).

Optimizing focus

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 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). If the subject is too close (less than 200 mm or 7.87 in), move farther away from the subject or use Close-up (see Close-up under Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus on page 14). Close-up and cannot focus, the camera will not take the If the camera is set to picture. Try one of the following: Move within the Close-up range (100-800 mm or 3.94-31.5 in) or set the camera to 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).

Using Focus Lock

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

Optimizing exposure

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: Set the flash to Auto Flash or Flash On (see Setting the flash on page 13). Set the camera on a tripod or stable surface. If the subject is out of the flash range or you do not have a tripod, set the shooting Steady Photo (see Steady Photo under Using the Picture Capture mode to and Video Record menus on page 14). Turn on more light. NOTE: When you are recording a video, the camera continuously updates exposure.

Auto Flash (Default)The camera uses the flash if necessary. Red-EyeThe camera uses the flash with red-eye reduction, if necessary, to minimize the possibility of human eyes appearing red in the final image. For information about red-eye, see Flash SettingRed-Eye on page 13. Flash OnThe camera always uses flash. If the light is behind your subject, use this setting to increase the light on the front of your subject. Flash OffThe camera does not use flash. Use this setting to capture poorly lit subjects 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. NOTE: The flash is set to Flash Off in Landscape, Sunset, and Theatre shooting modes, and while recording video clips or using Burst. The flash is set to Red-Eye in Night Portrait shooting mode.

Flash SettingRed-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 RedEye 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.

Chapter 3

Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus

PortraitFor pictures that have one or more people as their primary subject. ActionFor capturing sporting events, moving cars, or any scene where you want to stop the action. Night PortraitFor capturing images of people at night. This mode uses the flash and a long exposure. As a result, you must set the camera on a tripod or stable surface. SunsetFor capturing outdoor scenes at sunset.

NOTE: Some menu options are not available in certain shooting modes.
Using the Self-Timer setting
The Self-Timer allows you to take an image or video clip 10 seconds after pressing the Shutter button. 1. While in the Picture Capture or Video Record menu, use to highlight Self-Timer, press , highlight On, press , then hold down until the menu disappears. 2. Set the camera on a tripod or stable surface. 3. Frame the subject in the Image Display. 4. Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock focus and exposure. When the focus brackets turn green, press the Shutter button all the way down. The camera begins the 10-second countdown, then takes the picture or begins recording the video clip. 5. If you are recording a video clip, press the Shutter button to stop recording.
TIP: If you want to include yourself in the picture, place the camera on a tripod or stable surface, then press the Shutter button all the way down. The camera locks focus and exposure just before the end of the countdown, allowing you time to place yourself in the scene. The Self-Timer setting resets to Off after the image is taken.

Using the Burst setting

Burst allows you to take up to two (M440 series) or three (M630/M540 series) pictures as quickly as possible when you press and hold the Shutter button all the way down. 1. While in the Picture Capture Menu, use to highlight Burst , press , highlight On, press , then hold down until the menu disappears. 2. Frame the subject, then press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and exposure. Then press the Shutter button all the way down and hold it. The camera takes up to two or three pictures (depending on your camera model) as quickly as possible until you release the Shutter button or the camera runs out of memory. The Image Display remains off during the burst capture. After the burst images have been taken, each image appears one at a time in Instant Review (see Instant Review on page 9). You can delete the entire burst sequence in Instant Review. To delete individual images, see Deleting images on page 18. The Burst setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or until it resets to the default Off setting when you turn off the camera.

Transferring and printing images
Regularly transferring images to your computer and deleting them from the memory card will reduce the time it takes to turn on your camera, to review images, and to transfer images. You can transfer pictures and video clips with or without the HP Photosmart Software that came with your camera. However, the HP Photosmart Software has several features for transferring and managing your images and also guides you through the transfer process. NOTE: Transferring a large number of high-resolution images from a memory card to your computer may take up to two hours. Even if your Image Display turns off during the transfer process or it appears that nothing is happening on the computer, do not disconnect your camera from your computer until your computer indicates that image transfer is complete. When transferring a large number of images, be sure your camera batteries are fully charged or use an optional HP Photosmart dock or memory card reader.
Transferring images with HP Photosmart Software
If you have installed the HP Photosmart Software (see Install the software on page 6), use this method to transfer images and video clips to your computer. When you connect your camera to a computer with the HP Photosmart Software installed: If you have tagged images as Favorites (see Tagging images as Favorites on page 20), the tags are transferred with the images to your computer. If you have marked images for printing (see Marking images for printing on page 27) and the computer is connected to a printer, the marked images are automatically printed. If you have marked images for sharing (see Sharing images on page 29) and the computer is connected to the Internet, the selected images are automatically sent to their destinations. If you have marked images to buy as prints (see Buying prints online on page 29) and the computer is connected to the Internet, you can follow the instructions on the computer screen to buy prints of those images you selected. You can transfer the images on the camera to the computer by following the instructions on the computer screen. TIP: You can also perform these tasks using an optional HP Photosmart dock (see the documentation that came with your dock). To transfer images using the HP Photosmart Software: 1. If you have marked images for sharing, printing, or buying prints online (see Using HP Photosmart Express on page 27), verify that the computer is connected to a printer and/or the Internet. 2. Turn off the camera.

Printing images directly to a printer
You can print images directly from the camera to any PictBridge-certified printer. For information about printing images from your computer, see Transferring images with HP Photosmart Software on page 23. NOTE: You cannot print video clips using the method described in this section. You can, however, print a frame from a video clip using the HP Photosmart Software. For more information, see Help in the HP Photosmart Software. 1. Check that the printer is turned on, there is paper in the printer, and there are no printer error messages. 2. Turn off the camera, connect the camera and printer using the USB cable that came with your camera, then turn on the camera. 3.

The camera does not turn on. Install new or recharged batteries, ensuring that the batteries are inserted correctly (see Install the batteries on page 4). If you are using rechargeable batteries, ensure they are rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Reset the camera (see Resetting the camera on page 32). Ensure that the memory card is the proper type (see Storage on page 43). If so, remove the memory card and turn on the camera; if the camera turns on, format the memory card (see Install and format an optional memory card on page 6). If the camera still does not turn on, format the memory card using a memory card reader, or replace the memory card.
I have to recharge the NiMH batteries frequently. New batteries or batteries that have not been charged recently must be recharged to reach full capacity. If you have not used the batteries for two months or longer, recharge them. For tips on conserving battery life, see Extending battery life on page 39. The NiMH batteries will not charge. Try charging the batteries again after they have drained awhile. If charging the batteries in an optional battery charger or when docked in an optional HP Photosmart dock does not work, replace the batteries. It takes the camera a long time to turn on. Your camera may be slower to turn on if you have a high capacity (4GB or larger) memory card inserted. Having a large number of files (over 300) stored on a memory card affects the time it takes for the camera to turn on. Transfer stored files to your computer, then format the memory card.

The camera gets warm (or even hot) to the touch. This is normal. However, if anything seems out of the ordinary, turn off the camera and allow the camera to cool. Then examine the camera and the batteries for signs of possible damage. For best image quality, turn off the camera when not using. Always store the camera in a cool place. My camera stalls when establishing a connection to the computer. Your memory card may have a large number of images stored on it. The more images you have on your card, the longer it takes to establish a connection to the computer (up to five minutes). If you have a large number of images on the memory card, be sure to allow this additional time to establish the connection. Ensure that the USB cable is properly connected to the camera and computer, either directly or via an optional dock. Try connecting the USB cable to another USB port on the computer. Turn the camera off, then on again. If that does not fix the problem, reset the camera (see Resetting the camera on page 32). If the problem persists, contact HP Support (see Product support on page 38). I cannot transfer images from the camera to my computer.

38 Product support

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). If the 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: Set Display Brightness to Low (see Display Brightness under Using the Camera Setup Menu on page 31). Set your camera to Auto Flash (see Auto Flash under Setting the flash on page 13). Use optical zoom sparingly. Use video recording sparingly. Use Image Display sparingly. If you are turning on the camera only to view images, slide to , then turn on the camera to start in Playback without extending the lens. When transferring or printing images, place your camera in an optional HP Photosmart dock connected to AC power.
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.
