BlitzUG.book Page 14 Wednesday, July 12, 2000 2:59 PM
Using the Image LCD as a Viewfinder
Instead of framing your photo through the viewfinder, you can use the image LCD. To optimally frame your photo, use the image LCD when you are taking photos using Macro or Digital Zoom. For more information on Macro, see “Using the Focus” on page20. For more information on Digital Zoom, see “Using the Digital Zoom” on page22.
To frame your photo using the image LCD:
1. Slide the mode switch up to the camera icon.
2. Slide the image LCD switch up to turn the image LCD on.
3. Point the camera at your subject and preview the photo on the image LCD.
4. Press the shutter button half way to allow the camera to focus and adjust the exposure. When you see the green light next to the viewfinder, you are ready to take your photo.
5. When the subject is optimally framed, press the shutter button all the way down to take the photo.
Note: For faster flash recharging time and extended battery life, use the viewfinder
to frame your photos.

Tips for Taking the Best Photos
• Practice using the camera to get used to the timing before taking important photos. The camera takes about a second to focus when you press the shutter button half way down. After the camera has focused, be sure to push the shutter button all the way down until you hear the shutter click, indicating the photo has been taken.
• Avoid having the sun directly overhead or behind your subject. The best photos are taken with the sun to your back or side. If the sun is behind your subject, use the Fill Flash setting, see “Using the Flash” on page19.
• Keep the subject within the flash range, 2 feet to 8 feet (.6m to 2.5m), if there is low light.
• Avoid taking flash photos in front of reflective objects like mirrors or glass to prevent hot spots in your photos.
• Clean the lens and LCD screens occasionally with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions or chemically treated tissues.
• Although the HP PhotoSmart 210 digital camera has an electronic Auto Focus system, some conditions may cause the camera to focus improperly. Some examples are in the following table.
www.hp.com/photosmart 15
BlitzUG.book Page 16 Wednesday, July 12, 2000 2:59 PM
Subject Examples
Black or very dark objects Dark clothing
Objects that have no distinct or consistent form
Glossy and reflective surfaces Glass, mirrors, automobiles
Multiple or flickering light sources Neon signs, fluorescent lamps, television
Rapidly moving objects Baseballs, hummingbirds, race cars
Non-solid objects Wire netting or fencing, latticework
Conditions involving low-light Sunsets, candlelight
Fountains, waterfalls, waves, smoke, flame, fireworks, a subject in mist or fog
images, sun rays through trees
To take a photo of these types of subjects, focus on something near your subject and press the shutter button half way down. When the green light appears, re­aim your camera at your intended subject and press the shutter button all the way down. You can also try a different angle or change the lighting on your subject.

Chapter 3: Adjusting the Camera Settings
The HP PhotoSmart 210 digital camera has default settings that take great photos in most indoor and outdoor locations. To adjust the camera settings, use the Capture menu on the image LCD.
Changing the Photo Quality
Adjusting the photo quality setting changes the quality of the photo and determines how many photos can be stored on the CompactFlash memory card. To store the most photos, set the photo quality to basic. You can use different photo quality settings for different photos on the same memory card.
The current photo quality setting is indicated by an icon on the status LCD.
Basic The most memory-efficient photo quality setting. Use this setting for photos you plan to send via email, place on the Internet, use for screen savers or wallpaper, or print up to 3x5 inches (7.6x12.7mm).
Fine Produces high-quality photos and requires less memory than Super Fine. Use this setting for photos you plan to store on your disk or in a database, or print up to 5x7 inch (12.7x17.8mm) prints. This is the default setting.
Super Fine Produces the highest-quality photos and uses the most memory per picture. Use this setting for taking photos you plan to enlarge.
www.hp.com/photosmart 17
BlitzUG.book Page 18 Wednesday, July 12, 2000 2:59 PM
Note: Because photo quality affects the number of photos that can be stored on a
memory card, the number of available photos changes as you change the photo quality.
To change the photo quality:
1. Slide the mode switch up to the camera icon.
2. Press the menu dial to display the Capture menu on the image LCD.
3. Turn the menu dial to highlight the current Photo Quality icon, then press the
menu dial.
4. Turn the menu dial to highlight a Photo Quality setting, then press the menu dial.
Note: The Photo Quality setting is retained until it is changed, even if the camera is
turned off.

Flash Off Set the flash to Off
when you want to be sure the flash is not used.
Auto Flash with Red-eye reduction Minimizes the occurrence of
red-eye in photos of people or animals. The flash goes off twice—once to condition the subject’s eyes for the flash, and a second time to take the photo.

To adjust the flash:
1. Slide the mode switch up to the camera icon.
2. Press the menu dial to display the Capture menu on the image LCD.
3. Turn the menu dial to highlight the current Flash icon, then press the menu dial.
