Setting the Flash Mode
Your camera has seven flash modes. The default flash mode is Auto (no icons displayed). Each mode
is displayed on the status LCD with the icon(s) shown in Table 2. To set the flash mode, press the flash
mode button beneath the status LCD to toggle through the icons on the status LCD until you see

then on again).
If the batteries’ charge is low, the camera will
not take a picture if the flash mode is set to
Forced On or Night, and it will disable the flash
if set to Auto.
Also note that flash pictures may be overexposed when using the Macro auto focus
range (see “Setting the Auto Focus Range” on
page 11). Thus, you may want to turn off the
flash (set the flash mode to Forced Off) when
taking pictures with the Macro auto focus
range setting.

Note: After each timed exposure in 10-Second
Timer mode, the camera will default to the Off
timer mode setting. You must reset the timer to
take another timed picture. In contrast, the
3-Second Remote timer mode setting remains
set shot-to-shot.
Note: The auto focus range remains set
between shots, but returns to Normal after you
cycle the power on the camera (power it off and
then on again).
If you change the focus mode from Auto to
Manual Focus in the Photo Assist menu (see
“Using the Capture Mode Menus” on page 15),
the auto focus range is cancelled.
Your camera has three timer modes. The default timer mode is Off. Each mode is displayed on the

range, the image LCD will turn on. This is
because you will be unable to frame an image
properly in the viewfinder due to parallax error.
Normal (default) No Icon To take a picture of a subject that is within the normal
focus range (neither close-up nor in the distance).
The focus range is set from 0.5 meters to infinity.
Finally, if the camera cannot focus when set to
the Normal auto focus range, it will make a
“best guess” at the focus and take the picture.
Macro To take a close-up picture of a subject, such as a flower.
The focus range is set from 0.1 to 0.6 meters.
However, if it cannot focus when set to Macro, it
will not take a picture.

on, press the middle (Overlay) soft key.
You can also use the image LCD to access menus to change camera settings in the Capture,
Playback, and Review modes, and to play back and review captured images in the Playback and
Review modes, respectively. The image LCD is disabled in PC Connect mode.
The following subsections provide more information about the overlay bars and the soft keys in the
live view of Capture mode.
Understanding the Text Message Area
The text message area is a one-line text area in the middle of the top overlay bar. An example text
message is: “Battery Low.” The following indicators will also appear in the text message area when
you change certain settings in the Capture mode menus. For information on using the Capture mode
menus to change camera settings, see “Using the Capture Mode Menus” on page 15.
Exposure Mode Indicator
When you set the Exposure Mode in the Photo Assist menu to either Landscape Program, Portrait
Program, or Action Program, the current Exposure Mode is displayed in the text message area.
Note: For information on setting the Exposure
Mode, see “Exposure Mode Submenu” on
page 56.
Aperture Value and Shutter Speed Indicators
When you set the Exposure Mode in the Photo Assist menu to Aperture Priority (Av) or Shutter
Priority (Tv), the current aperture value and shutter speed are displayed in the text message area (for
example: Tv 1/125 F5.6). The aperture value and shutter speed will update automatically and change
continually as the camera zooms and measures the exposure. When the camera cannot set the
correct exposure because you have selected an aperture or shutter speed that is too big or small, the
line in the text message area will turn red.
Manual Focus Distance
Note: For information on setting the Focus
Mode, see “Focus Mode Submenu” on page 59.
Chapter 2: Preparing to Take Pictures 12 Using the Image LCD
When you set the Focus Mode in the Photo Assist menu to Manual Focus, the focus distance appears
on the left side of the text message area.
Note: For the Timelapse image type, you can
set the number of images that will be captured
and the interval between them in the Timelapse
Settings submenu of the Capture Settings
menu. (See “Timelapse Settings Submenu” on
page 54.)
Also note that if the interval you set for
Timelapse image capture is long, the camera
may go into sleep mode (shutting off the image
LCD) between taking pictures to conserve
battery power.
Macro and Infinity Auto Focus Range Indicators
When the auto focus range is set to Macro, a Macro icon is displayed on the right side of the text
message area. When the auto focus range is set to Infinity, INF is displayed.
Digital Zoom Indicator
When the camera is in digital zoom, the digital zoom icon is displayed on the right side of the text
message area. For information on digital zooming, see “Using the Zoom Lever” on page 22.
Setting the Image Type
Your camera can take three types of pictures (that is, three “image types”):
One Shot

information, see “Setting the Image Type” on page 13.) The image type you choose is displayed
on the left side of the bottom overlay bar in the image LCD.
6 Press the MENU button on the back of the camera to display the Capture mode menus on the
image LCD, if you wish to change any of the default camera settings in the menus.
7 Select the menu options you wish to change in the Capture Settings, Photo Assist, and/or Image
Stamp menus, and then make the changes to the camera settings within those menus, as
desired. (For information about changing settings in these Capture mode menus, see“Capture
Mode Menus and Soft Keys” on page 52.)
For example, if you have set the camera to the Timelapse image type, then you might want to
change the default settings in the Timelapse menu option of the Capture Settings menu. In this
case, you could change the number of images and/or the interval between them for the timelapse sequence that you want to shoot.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 17 Taking More Advanced Pictures
8 Press the right (Exit) soft key to exit the Capture mode menus.
Note: The image LCD uses a lot of battery
power. If you are running your camera on
batteries rather than with the HP-approved AC
power adapter, you may want to limit your use
of the image LCD and use the viewfinder
instead. To turn the image LCD off, press the
DISPLAY button on the back of the camera.
9 Use the image LCD or the viewfinder to select and frame the subject for your picture. If needed,
use the zoom lever (see page 22) to adjust the focal length of the camera lens to zoom in or out
on the picture subject. You can also use the diopter control (see page 22) when looking through
the viewfinder to adjust the focus of the picture subject in the viewfinder. Note that the diopter
control has no effect on the image you capture, however.
If you cannot obtain focus on your picture subject, see the next subsection, “Using Focus Lock.”
Otherwise, go on to the “What’s Next?” subsection.
Using Focus Lock
If you cannot obtain focus on your picture subject, use Focus Lock as follows to get the proper focus:
1 If the main subject of your picture is:
Not within the center of the viewfinder frame or image LCD screen, center the main subject
of your picture in the center of the viewfinder frame or image LCD screen. Go on to step 2.
Near a very bright or dark area, or is behind another object (such as a screen or fence) which
overlaps the subject, focus the camera on another object the same distance from you as the
subject. Go on to step 2.
2 Press the shutter release button halfway down and continue to hold it halfway down. This locks
the focus.
3 Without releasing the shutter release button, recompose the picture as you originally wanted it,
and then press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture. (Also see the following
subsections for how to take pictures for each image type.)
What’s Next?
What you need to do next to actually take a picture depends on the image type you have selected,
and whether or not you have set a timer mode. The following subsections describe how to capture
the image(s), as well as what occurs once you do, for each image type setting.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 18 Taking More Advanced Pictures

If Instant Review is on (see “Using Instant Review” on page 25), you can do any of the following while
the image you just captured is displayed in Instant Review on the image LCD:
Record sound that will be attached to this image. For information on how to do this, see

Save the image to the memory card and return to the Capture mode immediately by pressing
the right (Exit) soft key.
Do nothing and, when Instant Review times out (the default time-out is 3 seconds), the image is
then saved to the memory card automatically.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 19 Taking More Advanced Pictures
Shooting Continuous Images
Note: If you set the timer mode to 10-Second
Timer or 3-Second Remote for the Continuous
image type, you can only take one picture.
Therefore, to capture a Continuous sequence of
images, use the shutter release button with no
timer mode set (that is, with the timer mode set
to its default Off setting).
Note: If Instant Review is on, each image in a
Continuous sequence except for the final one is
automatically saved to the memory card before
the camera captures the next image in the
sequence. If Instant Review is off, each image is
automatically saved before the next one is
captured, and then the final one is saved
automatically, as well.
Also note that, unlike Timelapse images,
Continuous images are not grouped together
but are individual images. Thus, they are saved
as individual images on the memory card.
Press the shutter release button and continue to hold the button down. Then the camera begins to
capture the images in the Continuous sequence.
Continuous images are captured until you release the shutter release button, or the memory card
becomes full, whichever comes first.
The camera will capture images as fast as it can. The capture rate (that is, the time between pictures)
will vary depending on the processing required (for such things as the resolution and image quality
settings) before each image is saved to the memory card (see the second Note on the left). The
capture rate also depends on whether or not the flash is being charged between shots. If you wish to
increase the capture rate of Continuous images, you can turn the live view of Capture mode off by
pressing the DISPLAY button on the back of the camera, turn Instant Review off through the
Display menu option in the Preferences menu of Capture mode (see “Display Submenu” on page
67), and set the flash mode to Forced Off (see “Setting the Flash Mode” on page 10).
If Instant Review is on (see “Using Instant Review” on page 25). at the end of taking a Continuous
sequence of images, the final image of the sequence is displayed in the Instant Review on the image
LCD. You can do any of the following during the Instant Review period:
Record sound that will be attached to the final image of the sequence. For information on how
to do this, see “Recording Sound” on page 26.
Delete the final image of the sequence by pressing the middle (Delete) soft key. (All of the
other images in the sequence were already saved to the memory card.)
Save the final image of the sequence to the memory card and return to the Capture mode
immediately by pressing the right (Exit) soft key. (All of the other images in the sequence were
already saved to the memory card.)
Do nothing and, when Instant Review times out (the default time-out is 3 seconds), the final
image of the sequence is then saved to the memory card automatically.
Note: If you are unhappy with any other
images within a Continuous sequence (rather
than just the final image, which you can only
delete during Instant Review), you can delete
those images in the Review mode. To do this,
see “Deleting Images” on page 32.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 20 Taking More Advanced Pictures
Shooting Timelapse Images
Note: The 10-Second Timer mode is disabled
for the Timelapse image type.
Note: If the interval you set for Timelapse
image capture is long, the camera may go into
sleep mode (shutting off the image LCD)
between taking pictures to conserve
battery power.
Also, if you set the Timelapse interval to 15 or
30 sec and you have the File Type set to TIFF,
the camera may skip capturing an image if it is
not finished processing the previous image in
the Timelapse sequence.
If you are using the:
Shutter release button with no timer mode set
Shutter release button with no timer mode set, press and release the shutter release button
Shutter release button with no timer mode setShutter release button with no timer mode set
one time. Then the camera captures the first image of the Timelapse sequence.

and release the Remote Control’s trigger button one time. The timer LED on the front of the
camera (see page 24) blinks faster for 3 seconds. Then the camera captures the first image of the
Timelapse sequence.
The settings in the Timelapse menu option of the Capture Settings menu determine the number of
pictures that are taken and the interval between pictures in the Timelapse sequence of images that
are captured. (To change the Timelapse settings, see “Timelapse Settings Submenu” on page 54.)
The image LCD displays the previously captured image while counting down to the next image
capture. The only option you have is to stop the Timelapse sequence by pressing the right (Stop)
soft key.
If Instant Review is on (see “Using Instant Review” on page 25). at the end of taking a Timelapse
sequence of images, the first image in the sequence is displayed in the Instant Review on the image
LCD. You can do any of the following during the Instant Review period:
timer mode
timer mode, point the HP Remote Control at the camera, and press

Note: If you are unhappy with one or more
images within a Timelapse sequence, you can
delete only those images in the Review mode
(rather than deleting all of the images in the
sequence during Instant Review). To do this, see
“Deleting Images” on page 32.
Note: All images in a Timelapse sequence are
saved as one group on the memory card.
Record sound that will be attached to the first image of the sequence. For information on how to
do this, see “Recording Sound” on page 26.
Delete all of the images in the sequence by pressing the middle (Delete) soft key.
Save all of the images in the sequence to the memory card and return to the Capture mode
immediately by pressing the right (Exit) soft key.
Do nothing and, when Instant Review times out (the default time-out is 3 seconds), all of the
images in the sequence are then saved to the memory card automatically.
What’s Next?
The following sections provide more information about various features of your camera that you
can use when taking pictures (such as the zoom), or that provide you with important feedback on the
status of your camera while you are taking pictures (such as the LEDs). Once you have read through
the following sections, continue on to Chapter 4 to learn how to view and review the images you
have captured via the camera’s Playback and Review modes.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 21 Taking More Advanced Pictures
Figure 8: Zoom Lever
Note: In digital zoom mode, enlargement is
accomplished without changes in the lens
configuration. Since the lens is not involved
in digital zoom, the changes appear only in
the image LCD; they are not evident through
the viewfinder.
Using the Zoom Lever
While you are framing the subject for a picture, you will likely find that you need to zoom in or out
on the subject. This section explains the camera’s zoom lever, which you can use for this purpose.
Rocking the zoom lever (see Figure 8) left and right moves the lens continuously between wide
angle and telephoto focal lengths for optical zooming.
The zoom lever also controls digital zooming. Digital zooming refers to digital cropping of the
image, giving the appearance of greater zoom. After the optical zoom is at its maximum setting, you
can digitally zoom in three steps (see below). Note, however, that you must have the image LCD on
for the digital zoom to operate. (To turn the image LCD on, press the DISPLAY button on the back of
the camera.)
If the image LCD is turned on and the camera’s zoom is at the end of the telephoto range, releasing
and pressing the zoom lever will initiate digital zooming. A digital zoom icon will appear in the
text message area of the image LCD’s top overlay bar. Digital zooming occurs in three steps:
1.2x
1.5x
2x
The camera pauses for 250 milliseconds (1/4 second) between steps. Digital zoom remains set shotto-shot, but turns off when you cycle the power on the camera. It also turns off any time you exit the
live view of Capture mode (for example, you press the MENU button on the camera to display the
Capture mode menus, or you turn the camera mode dial to set the camera to another mode).
To exit the digital zoom, you can also press, release, and then re-press the zoom lever in the wide
angle direction.
Figure 9: Diopter Control
Note: The diopter control does not affect the
captured image itself.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 22 Using the Zoom Lever
Using the Diopter Control
The diopter control (see Figure 9) is the small dial on the left side of the viewfinder that you can turn
to adjust the focus of the picture subject in the viewfinder. Note that the diopter control has no effect
on the image you capture, however.
Understanding the LEDs on the Camera
Your camera has several LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that light solid or blink to indicate that certain
actions are occurring within the camera, or particular problems may have occurred while you were
performing a particular task with the camera. This section describes what these LEDs are and how
they behave.
Viewfinder LEDs
The LEDs on the right side of the viewfinder (see Figure 10) display either a green light, red light, or
both, indicating either the focus status, flash status, a memory card problem, or that the camera is
processing an image and is not ready to take a picture.

picture subject.
Red (Bottom) Indicates flash status Lights solid when the shutter release button
is pressed halfway down to indicate that the
flash is charged and ready to fire.
Blinks when the shutter release button is
pressed halfway down to indicate that the

In the event of a full or m issing memory card,
both LEDs blink when you press the shutter
release button halfway down. In this case,
000 will also blink on the status LCD.
In the event of a bad or unformatted memory
card, or when the camera is processing an
image and is not ready to take a picture,
both LEDs blink when you press the shutter
release button halfway down.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 23 Understanding the LEDs on the Camera
Timer LED
Figure 11: Timer LED The red timer LED on the front of the camera (see Figure 11) lights solid and/or blinks depending on
the timer mode you set (see “Setting the Timer Mode” on page 11). If you set the timer mode to the:
10-Second Timer setting
10-Second Timer setting, when you press and release the shutter release button, the timer LED
10-Second Timer setting10-Second Timer setting
lights solid for 7 seconds. It then blinks for the final 3 seconds before the camera captures
the image.
3-Second Remote setting
3-Second Remote setting, the timer LED blinks slowly while waiting for you to press the
3-Second Remote setting3-Second Remote setting
Remote Control’s trigger button. Once you press the trigger button, the timer LED blinks faster
for 3 seconds before the camera captures the image.
Memory Card Access LED
Figure 12: Memory Card Access LED The amber memory card access LED on the back of the camera (see Figure 12) blinks whenever the
camera is reading from or writing to the memory card.
Caution: Make sure the camera is powered off
any time you remove the memory card from
the camera. Removing the memory card when
the memory card access LED is blinking could
corrupt the images and other files on the
memory card.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 24 Understanding the LEDs on the Camera
Using Instant Review
The Instant Review feature allows you to see displayed on the image LCD either the One Shot image,
the final image of a Continuous image sequence, or the first image of a Timelapse sequence you just
captured. The default setting is that Instant Review is on for 3 seconds after the One Shot image or
the final image in a Continuous or Timelapse sequence is captured.
You can change the duration that the image is displayed in Instant Review or turn Instant
Review off through the Display menu option in the Preferences menu of Capture mode. (See
“Display Submenu” on page 67 and “Setting the Display” on page 95.)
Note: When Instant Review is set to Off, the
camera immediately returns to Capture mode,
and the captured image or sequence of images
is automatically saved to the memory card.
Note: If you are unhappy with any other
images within a Continuous sequence (rather
than just the final image, which you can only
delete during Instant Review), you can delete
those images in the Review mode. To do this,
see “Deleting Images” on page 32.
Similarly, if you are unhappy with one or more
images within a Timelapse sequence, you can
delete only those images in the Review mode
(rather than deleting all of the images in the
sequence during Instant Review). To do this, see
“Deleting Images” on page 32.
While an image is displayed in Instant Review on the image LCD, you can do any of the following:
Record sound that will be attached either to the One Shot image, to the final image of a
Continuous sequence, or to the first image of a Timelapse sequence (see the next section,
“Recording Sound”).
Delete the captured image(s) by pressing the middle (Delete) soft key. Either the One Shot
image, the final image of a Continuous sequence, or all of the images in a Timelapse sequence
will be deleted.
When you press the Delete soft key, you will be prompted Delete? in the top overlay bar. You
can press either the left (Delete) soft key to delete the image(s), or the right (Cancel) soft key to
cancel the delete operation. If you recorded sound, then the option of deleting Sound Only is
also provided for the middle soft key.
Save the image(s) to the memory card and return to the Capture mode immediately by pressing
the right (Exit) soft key. Either the One Shot image, the final image of a Continuous sequence, or
all of the images in a Timelapse sequence will be saved.
Do nothing and, when Instant Review times out (the default time-out is 3 seconds), the image(s)
are then saved to the memory card automatically. Either the One Shot image, the final image of
a Continuous sequence, or all of the images in a Timelapse sequence will be saved.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 25 Using Instant Review
Recording Sound
Note: You can record up to 45 seconds of
sound per image or sequence of images.
Note: The microphone is located on the front of
the camera. So if you are recording your own
voice, you may get better sound quality by
rotating the camera around to face you.
Figure 13: Screen During Sound Recording 1 Press the sound record button on the back of the camera to activate the recording. A
You can record sound to attach to your images when your camera is in Capture mode and has
Instant Review set on (see the previous section). During the Instant Review period, the camera records
the sound and then attaches it to either the One Shot image, to the final image of a Continuous
sequence, or to the first image of a Timelapse sequence that you just captured. The sound recording
capability remains active during the entire Instant Review period.
You can also record sound in the Playback or Review modes to attach to images. (See the second
Note on the left for more information.)
Once you have captured an image or sequence of images in Capture mode and the Instant Review is
displayed on the image LCD, do the following to record sound that will be attached to the image:
microphone icon flashes and the length of the recording in minutes and seconds (00:00)
appears in the top overlay bar of the image LCD (see Figure 13).
2 Record your sound (up to 45 seconds).
3 Press the sound record button again to stop the recording. The screen displays Ready in the top
overlay bar, and three soft key labels in the bottom overlay bar: Play, Delete, and Exit (from left
to right).
4 Do any of the following:
Press the left (Play) soft key to play back the sound recorded.
Note: You can also record sound to attach to a
One Shot image, any of the images in a
Continuous sequence, or to the first image in a
Timelapse sequence of images after the Instant
Review period has finished. To do so, you must
set the camera to either Playback or Review
mode. Then select an image or sequence
of images in the Playback or Review mode and
follow steps 1-4 (to the right on this page) to
record sound that will be attached to the
selected image or sequence of images.
Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 26 Recording Sound
Press the middle (Delete) soft key to delete either the image(s) and the sound, or to delete
the sound only.
Press the right (Exit) soft key to immediately save the image(s) and the attached sound to
the memory card.
Do nothing and allow the Instant Review to time out. In this case, the image(s) and the
attached sound are automatically saved to the memory card.

The Review mode screen is displayed on the image LCD (see Figure 14). The image LCD displays the
images that are saved on the memory card. The images appear as small thumbnails along the top of
the screen.
The small thumbnail that has the selection marker under it is the selected image. The selected image
is also displayed as the large thumbnail on the bottom left of the screen. Information about the
selected image (including the image number and the date and time the image was captured)
appears on the bottom right of the screen. If the selected image is a part of a group, the group
name is also displayed. If the image was transmitted to this camera from another camera, and the
other camera had a camera name assigned, then the camera name is displayed (instead of any
group name).
The icon bar above the image information area shows whether the selected image is a single image,
a collapsed Timelapse sequence of images, or a collapsed group of images. The icon bar also shows
a sound icon if sound is attached to the selected image, as well as a category icon if a category has
been assigned to the selected image.
