Install the software

The HP Photosmart Software provides features for transferring images and video clips to your computer, as well as features for modifying stored images (remove red eyes, rotate, crop, resize, adjust image quality, and more). See the Help feature in the HP Photosmart Software. Note If you have trouble installing or using the HP Photosmart Software, see the HP Customer Care website for more information: www.hp.com/support.

When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera focuses from the closest distance, then examines other focus regions, displaying those in focus as green brackets. The sample image shows focus in regions one, two, and five. If the camera keeps focusing on something other than your subject, set Auto Focus Area to Spot (see Auto Focus Area under Using the Capture Menu on page 23), then use Focus Lock (see Using Focus Lock on page 16).

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. For the Normal Focus range If the camera is set to Normal Focus (see Using the focus range settings on page 17) and 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: If the scene has low contrast, use Focus Lock (see Using Focus Lock on page 16) and aim at a point on the subject that has more colors or crisp edges. If the subject is too close (less than 500 mm or 20 in), move farther away from the subject or use the Macro or Auto Macro focus range (see Using the focus range settings on page 17). Use Manual Focus (see Using Manual Focus on page 17).
For the Macro focus range If the camera is set to Macro and cannot focus, the camera will not take the picture. Try one of the following: Move within the Macro range or set the camera to Auto Macro or Normal Focus (see Using the focus range settings on page 17). In low contrast scenes, use Focus Lock (see Using Focus Lock on page 16). Use Manual Focus (see Using Manual Focus on page 17).

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. Press the Shutter button halfway down. Hold the Shutter button halfway down and reframe. Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

2. 3. 4.

Optimizing exposure
When you 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 19). 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 mode to Steady Photo (see Steady Photo under Using the shooting modes on page 19). Turn on more light.

While in Live View, press to display the Capture Menu, use to highlight Self-Timer, then press. In the Self-Timer sub-menu, use to select On (for one shot) or 2 Shots, use to select a time delay in seconds, press , then press. For more details on selecting options in the Capture Menu, see Using the Capture Menu on page 23. Set the camera on a tripod or stable surface. Frame the subject in the Image Display. The next steps depend on whether you are taking one or two still pictures, or recording a video clip. a. For still pictures, 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. b. For video clips, press the Video button, then release it. The camera counts down the time delay you selected, then takes the still image or begins recording the video clip. If you chose 2 Shots and are taking a still image, the camera takes the second still image a few seconds after the first. If you are recording a video clip, press the Video button to stop recording. Tip If you want to include yourself in the picture, press the Shutter button all the way down, then place the camera on a tripod or stable surface. The camera locks focus and exposure just before the end of the countdown, allowing you time to place yourself in the scene. Note To add audio to images taken with the Self-Timer setting, see Recording audio on page 33. The Self-Timer setting resets to the default Off setting after the picture or video clip is taken.

3. 4. 5.

Using the Burst setting
Burst allows you to take two or more pictures as quickly as possible when you press and hold the Shutter button all the way down. 1. While in Live View, press to display the Capture Menu, use to highlight Burst, press , use to select On, press , then press. For more details on selecting options in the Capture Menu, see Using the Capture Menu on page 23. 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 pictures 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 14). You can delete the entire burst sequence in Instant Review. To delete individual images, see Deleting images on page 31. To add audio to images taken with the Burst setting, see Recording audio on page 33. 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.

Exposure Compensation

You can use Exposure Compensation to override the camera's automatic exposure setting. Exposure Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light objects (like a white object against a light background) or many dark objects (like a black object against a dark background). Such scenes could turn out gray without the use of Exposure Compensation. For a scene with many light objects, increase the Exposure Compensation to a positive number. For a scene with many dark objects, decrease the Exposure Compensation. Tip To see the effect varying Exposure Compensation settings might have on a scene, try the Exposure option in Bracketing (see Bracketing under Using the Capture Menu on page 23).

Adaptive Lighting

This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts while reducing harsh contrasts. When used with a flash, Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a flash wouldnt reach. Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these: Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade High contrast scenes that contain both light and dark objects Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even out the effect of the flash) Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the flash to reach, or is severely backlit (for example, in front of a window)
You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without flash, but it is not recommended as a replacement for flash. Unlike the flash, Adaptive Lighting does not affect exposure settings, so brightened areas may appear noisy or grainy, and indoor or night images may be blurry if taken without a flash or a tripod.
HP Photosmart R967 Digital Camera 27
Tip To see the effect the Adaptive Lighting settings might have on a scene, use the Adaptive Lighting option in Bracketing (see Bracketing under Using the Capture Menu on page 23).

White Balance

Different lighting conditions cast different colors. This setting allows the camera to compensate for this, reproducing colors more accurately and ensuring that whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust the white balance to produce creative effects. For example, the Sun setting produces a warmer look to the image.

ISO speed

This setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to light. When ISO Speed is set to the default Auto setting, the camera selects the best ISO speed for the scene. Lower ISO speeds capture images with the least amount of grain (or noise), but result in slower shutter speeds. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a flash at ISO 100, use a tripod. Higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or when taking pictures of fast moving objects. Higher ISO speeds produce pictures with more grain (or noise) and, therefore, can be of lower quality.
