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

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

of the camera are magnified (this is called camera shake). If

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

indicate the area of the scene the camera will capture, and the MP value decreases to
indicate the resolution at which the scene will be captured.

TIP: For other situations when the picture may be blurry, see the suggestions
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 wouldn’t reach.
Lighting is useful in situations like these:
Adaptive
•
•
•
•
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)
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
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.

information about how to copy files, visit Mac help.
Using a memory card reader
You can put your camera’s optional memory card into a (separately purchased) memory

A Managing batteries
Your camera uses a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 Lithium Ion battery (L1812A/L1812B).
Top points about batteries
Always insert the battery in the camera correctly (see “Install the battery” on page 5). If the battery
is inserted improperly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not operate.
•
New rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are shipped partially charged. Fully charge them before
first use.
•
If you do not intend to use your camera for more than two months, leave the camera connected
to AC power using the power adapter that came with your camera. The camera will top off the
battery periodically to ensure that the camera is always ready for use.
A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery can be left in the camera or optional quick recharger for any
period of time without harm.
•
•
If a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery has not been used for more than two months, recharge it
before using it again. Fully recharge Lithium Ion batteries every six months to a year to prolong
their useful life.
•
•
The performance of Lithium Ion batteries degrades over time, especially if stored and used at
high temperatures. If battery life is unacceptably short, replace the battery.
The performance of Lithium Ion 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 automatically dims and brightens based on lighting
conditions and turns off after 45 seconds by default. Pressing any button wakes up the camera. After
five minutes of inactivity, the camera turns off.
To further extend battery life:

Safety precautions for using batteries
•
•
•
Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery. 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 the battery with metal objects. Do not drop the battery into a change-filled
pocket.
•
•
•
•
Do not pierce the battery or subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
Do not solder directly onto the battery.
Do not allow the battery to get wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
54
Managing batteries

•
•
Immediately discontinue use of the 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 the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well
with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause
damage to the eye.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.

NOTE: If the camera is without a battery for a prolonged period, the clock may be reset and

Number of shots per battery charge
A fully charged HP Photosmart R07 Lithium Ion battery should take approximately 190 pictures. This
number is an estimate based on standards established by the Camera and Imaging Products
Association (CIPA). However, many factors affect the actual number of pictures you will be able to
code R-400.

Safety precautions for recharging batteries
You can recharge a Lithium Ion battery in the camera or purchase an optional quick recharger. These
devices may be warm while charging a Lithium Ion battery. This is normal. However, you should
follow the safety precautions below.
•
Do not charge any other battery than the HP Photosmart R07 Lithium Ion battery in the camera
or quick recharger.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Insert the Lithium Ion battery in the correct orientation.
Use the camera or quick recharger in a dry location only.
Do not charge a Lithium Ion battery in a hot location, such as in direct sunlight or near a fire.
When recharging a Lithium Ion battery, do not cover the camera or quick recharger.
Do not operate the camera or quick recharger if the Lithium Ion battery appears damaged.
Do not disassemble the camera or quick recharger.
Unplug the quick recharger from the electrical outlet before cleaning it.
After extensive use, the Lithium Ion battery may begin to swell. If it becomes difficult to insert
the battery into or remove the battery from the camera or quick recharger, discontinue use of
the battery and replace it with a new one. Please recycle the old battery.
