HP Photosmart R707 User’s Manual
Chapter 1: Getting Started Congratulations on your purchase of this HP Photosmart digital camera! This camera has many features to enhance your picture-taking experience, including HP Adaptive Lighting Technology, in-camera red-eye removal, 10 shooting modes (including panorama), HP Image Advice, HP Instant ShareTM, direct printing capability, manual and automatic controls, oncamera Help, and an optional camera dock.
Setup NOTE To locate a part on your camera (such as a button or a light) while following the instructions in this section, see Camera Parts on page 21. Installing the camera dock insert (Optional) If you buy the HP Photosmart R-series dock, you will notice one or more clear dock inserts included in the box with the dock. When setting up the dock for use with this camera, make sure you use the dock insert that has the GREEN sticker on it.
Installing a Memory Card (Optional) If you do not have a memory card, skip this section and go on to the next section, Installing the Battery on page 14. Your camera contains internal memory that allows you to store images and video clips. However, you can use a memory card (purchased separately) instead to store images and video clips. For more information about supported memory cards, see Storage on page 179.
Installing the Battery Your camera can use either a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 lithium ion battery (L1812A) or a disposable Duracell® CP1 battery. NOTE If a rechargeable battery was shipped with your camera, it will be partially charged, but you should fully charge it before using it the first time. You can charge the battery while it is in the camera. See Charging the Battery on page 16. 1 If the Battery/Memory card door is already open, skip this step and go on to step 2.
Attaching the Ferrite to the AC Adapter Cord A ferrite is included in the box with your camera. This ferrite prevents your camera from emitting radio frequency energy that might interfere with the reception of your radio, television, or other electronic devices which might be near the camera. The ferrite will not degrade the performance or safety of the camera.
Charging the Battery NOTE This section tells how to charge a battery in the camera. You can also charge the battery in the extra battery bay of the camera dock or in the HP Photosmart Quick Recharger (see Appendix B: Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 173). If the battery you installed is a disposable CP1 battery, you can skip this step. If the battery you installed is a rechargeable lithium ion battery, do the following. 1 Plug the power cord into the HP AC adapter.
NOTE The camera may get warm while it is charging the battery, as well as after prolonged use under battery power. This is normal. NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on what modes the camera is being used in most frequently.
Setting the Date and Time The camera has a clock that records the date and time at which you take each picture. This information is recorded in the image properties, which you can see when viewing the image in the Image Info screen (page 92), in the Playback menu screen (page 86), or on your computer. You can also choose to have the date and time imprinted on the visible image (see Date & Time Imprint on page 76).
Installing the Software The HP Image Zone software allows you to transfer images from the camera, and then view, edit, print, or e-mail them. It also allows you to configure the HP Instant Share menu on the camera. NOTE If you do not install the HP Image Zone software, you can still use the camera, but certain features will be affected. For details, see Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software on page 125.
Macintosh 1 Close all programs and temporarily disable any virus protection software running on your computer. 2 Insert the HP Image Zone software CD into the CD drive of your computer. 3 Double-click the CD icon on the computer desktop. 4 Double-click the installer icon, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

Camera States Your camera has two main states that allow you to complete certain tasks.
Camera Menus Your camera has five menus that, when accessed, appear in the Image Display on the back of the camera. When any menu is displayed, you can then access the other menus by using the menu tabs at the top of the screen. To display another menu, use the buttons to move to the menu tab for that menu. To display the Capture Menu , press the Live View button to turn Live View on, then press the Menu/ OK button. A shortcut is to simply press the Menu/OK button when Live View is off.
To display the HP Instant Share Menu , press the HP Instant Share button. For information about using this menu, see Using the HP Instant Share Menu on page 103. NOTE Before you can use the HP Instant Share Menu , you must first set up the menu. For information on how to do this, see Setting Up the HP Instant Share Menu on the Camera on page 98. To display the Setup Menu , first access either the Capture, Playback, or HP Instant Share menu, then use the buttons to move to the menu tab for the Setup Menu .

The Help Menu displays in the Image Display. buttons to highlight the Help topic you want 2 Use the to read. 3 Press the Menu/OK button to display the Help topic. 4 Use the buttons to scroll through the Help topic to read it. 5 Press the Menu/OK button to exit the Help topic and return to the Help Menu .
Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips Taking Still Pictures You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on, regardless of what is being shown on the Image Display. For example, if a menu is currently displayed when you press the Shutter button, the menu will be canceled, and the camera will take a picture. To take a still picture: 1 Frame the subject for your picture in the viewfinder.
After a picture is taken, the image appears for several seconds on the Image Display. This is called Instant Review. You can delete the image during Instant Review by pressing the Menu/OK button. You can use Playback to review the pictures you have taken (see Using Playback on page 80). NOTE If you release the Shutter button only halfway after taking a picture, the focus, exposure, and white balance measurements from the previous picture are retained.
3 To stop recording audio, release the Shutter button. Audio recording stops when you release the Shutter button; otherwise, the audio will continue recording for up to 60 seconds or until the camera runs out of memory, whichever happens first. After recording has stopped, the image is displayed for several seconds in Instant Review on the Image Display. You can delete the image and the audio clip that is attached to the image during Instant Review by pressing the Menu/OK button.
Recording Video Clips NOTE Zoom does not work while recording video clips. Therefore, you may want to zoom first before starting to record a video clip. A video clip includes audio. 1 Frame the subject for your video in the viewfinder. 2 To start recording video, press and release the Video button, which is located on top of the camera. The Video viewfinder light turns on solid red.
Using Live View The Image Display allows you to frame pictures and video clips using Live View. To activate Live View on the Image Display if the Image Display is off, press the Live View button. To turn off Live View, press the Live View button again. NOTE Using Live View consumes a lot of battery power. To conserve battery power, use the viewfinder instead.
# Icon Description 3 12 Remaining pictures count (actual number depends on how much space remains in memory) 4 5MP Image Quality setting (default is 5MP 5 Focus brackets (see Using Auto Focus on page 36) ) Focusing the Camera Using Auto Focus The focus brackets in the Live View screen show the focus region for the picture you are taking or the video clip you are recording. (See Using Live View on page 35.
several tries, there may not be enough contrast or light in the focus region. Try using a technique called Focus Lock to focus on an object about the same distance away but in a higher-contrast region, and then, without releasing the Shutter button, point the camera at the object you were originally trying to photograph (see Using Focus Lock on page 37). You can also simply turn on more light, if that is possible.
3 Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning. 4 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture. Using the Focus Range Settings The Focus MF button lets you toggle between four focus settings on the camera. The following table describes each of the focus range settings on the camera: Setting Description Normal Focus Use when taking pictures of subjects greater than 0.4 m (15.75 in) away.
Understanding the Focus Search Priority When the camera is set to Normal Focus or Macro focus, it begins searching for focus from the last focus position. buttons to change this However, you can use the behavior. This feature is useful when there are multiple objects at different distances in the focus region. ! Holding the button while pressing the Shutter halfway down causes the camera to begin searching for focus from the farthest position (infinity in Normal Focus and 0.
Hints on Using Manual Focus You may want to use Manual Focus in the following three cases: ! In low light conditions when auto focus may have a difficult time gaining the proper focus. ! After auto focus, you want to lock the focus for speed and repeatability for the next pictures you take. ! For fine-tuning Macro focus. Otherwise, you may want to limit your use of Manual Focus because it is difficult to gain the exact focus position for the best shots using this feature.
Using Zoom NOTE The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more that even small movements of the camera are magnified (this is called “camera shake”). So, especially at full telephoto zoom (3x), you really need to hold the camera steady in order to take a picture that is not blurry. If an icon of a shaking hand ( ) appears in the Live View screen, you should set the camera on a tripod or stable surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.
2 Press Zoom In again and hold it until you reach the desired size in the Image Display. A yellow frame surrounds the area of the image that will be captured. The resolution number on the right side of the screen also becomes smaller as you digitally zoom. For example, 4.2MP appears in place of 5MP, indicating that the image is being reduced to a size of 4.2 Megapixels. 3 When the yellow frame is at the desired size, press the Shutter button to take the picture.
Setting the Flash NOTE The flash does not work in Panorama mode, with the Burst setting, or while recording video clips. The Flash button lets you cycle through the flash settings on the camera. To change the flash setting, press the Flash button until the desired setting appears in the Image Display. The following table describes each of the flash settings on the camera. NOTE If you change the flash setting, the camera will remain in that setting until you change it or turn off the camera.
NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the captured image. When you use a flash setting with red-eye reduction, the camera flashes twice, minimizing the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals. It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for the second flash.
b. Press the Shutter button all the way down. If the Image Display is on, a 10-second countdown appears on the screen. The Self-Timer light on the front of the camera then blinks for 10 seconds before the camera takes the picture. If you set the camera to Self-Timer - 2 Shots, the Self-Timer light blinks for a few more seconds until the second picture is taken.
Using the Burst Setting NOTE The Burst setting does not work in Panorama mode, nor while recording video clips. You also cannot record audio when using the Burst setting, but you can add an audio clip later (see Record Audio on page 94). Also, the flash does not work while using the Burst setting. NOTE If you set the camera to Burst while in AE Bracketing, the camera honors the Burst setting, and ignores AE Bracketing. Burst allows you to take 3 still pictures in a row as quickly as the camera possibly can.
To change the shooting mode, press the Mode button on top of the camera until the desired shooting mode appears in the status screen. Alternatively, you can press the Mode button just once and then use the buttons to scroll to the desired shooting mode. The following table describes each of the shooting mode settings on the camera. Setting Description Auto In this mode, the camera automatically selects the best F-number (aperture) and shutter speed for the scene.
Setting Description Sunset In this mode, the focus starts at infinity and the flash is set to Flash Off. This mode improves the saturation of sunset colors and retains the warmth of the scene with a bias towards the orange colors of the sunset. Aperture This mode lets you select the F-number (aperture) Priority setting in Live View using the buttons, while the Av camera selects the best shutter speed. This allows you to control the depth of field (for example to blur the background).
Noise Reduction for Long Exposures At longer shutter speeds the camera will automatically take a second exposure with the shutter closed in order to measure and reduce the noise (grainy look) in the image. In these cases, the exposure will seem to take twice as long as expected. For example, in a 1-second exposure, the Image Display will stay dark for 2 seconds until the noise reduction frame is exposed. This means that at longer shutter speeds, you may not be able to take quite as many shots back-to-back.
Your camera came with the ArcSoft® Panorama Maker™ software that automatically stitches the images in the panoramic sequence together on your computer during image transfer. The Panorama Maker software was automatically installed on your computer during the HP Image Zone software installation process (see Installing the Software on page 19).
3 Position the camera to take the second picture. Notice the transparent overlay of the image of the first picture in the sequence superimposed on the left third of the Live View screen. Use this overlay to align your second picture horizontally with the first. 4 Press the Shutter button to take the second picture. After Instant Review, the camera switches to Live View with displayed in the Image Display.
Using My Mode My Mode is a customizable shooting mode that allows you to select, save, and then repeatedly use a group of preferred settings on your camera. This shooting mode is especially useful when you frequently take pictures of the same type of subject or scene and want to have the camera set to the same settings each time. For example, you may often take action pictures of your child playing soccer outdoors on bright, sunny days.
c. Use the or button to highlight the new setting you want for that menu option. d. Press the Menu/OK button to select that setting and return to the My Mode Capture Menu. 4 Repeat step 3 for each menu option setting you want to change. 5 When you have finished changing settings in the My Mode Capture Menu, press the Live View button on the back of the camera to exit the My Mode Capture Menu and return to Live View.
2 Press the Menu/OK button to display the My Mode Capture Menu. 3 Use the or button to scroll to the My Mode Saved Settings menu option and press the Menu/OK button. The My Mode Saved Settings sub-menu displays. The items with check marks in the My Mode Saved Settings sub-menu will be saved in My Mode any time you turn the camera off.
Using the Capture Menu The Capture Menu allows you to adjust various camera settings that affect the qualities of the images and video clips you capture with your camera. 1 To display the Capture Menu, press the Live View button, and then press the Menu/OK button. If the image Display is already off, you can simply press Menu/OK. Screen 1: Screen 2: Screen 3: 2 Use the buttons to scroll through the Capture Menu options.
5 To exit the Capture Menu, highlight the press Menu/OK. EXIT option and Help for the Menu Options Help... is the last option in each of the Capture sub-menus. The Help... option provides information about that Capture menu option and its settings. For example, if you press Menu/OK when Help... is highlighted in the White Balance sub-menu, the White Balance Help screen is displayed, as shown. Use the buttons to scroll through the Help screens.
EV Compensation In difficult lighting conditions, you can use EV (Exposure Value) Compensation to override the automatic exposure setting that the camera makes. EV Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light objects (like a white house in the snow) or many dark objects (like a black cat on a dark background). Scenes containing many light objects or many dark objects could turn out gray without the use of EV Compensation.
Image Quality NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips. This setting allows you to set the resolution and JPEG compression of the still images you capture with your camera. The Image Quality sub-menu has five pre-defined settings, as well as a menu option through which you can create your own custom Image Quality setting. NOTE The resolution portion of all the Image Quality settings except for the VGA setting is represented by a number and MP (Megapixels), such as 5MP or 3MP.
The following table helps explain the pre-defined Image Quality settings in more detail: Setting Description 5MP Images will be full resolution and have the lowest pre-defined compression. This setting produces very high quality images, with greater color accuracy, but uses the most memory. This is recommended if you plan to enlarge images, or print images to a size larger than 18 by 24 cm (8 by 10 in). 5MP Images will be full resolution and have medium compression.
The Image Quality setting not only affects the quality of the images, but as a result the amount of images that can be stored either in the internal memory in the camera or on an optional memory card. Higher resolution and lower compression images will take up more space than images with lower resolution and/or compression. For example, the highest pre-defined setting, 5MP , results in high quality images, but consumes more storage space in memory than the next lower setting, 5MP .
1 In the Image Quality sub-menu (page 58), select the Custom... option. 2 Use the buttons to move between the Resolution and Compression options. 3 Use the buttons to change the Resolution or Compression setting. The following tables help explain these settings. Resolution Settings 5MP—Full resolution; therefore, highest quality 3MP—3MP (medium) resolution 1MP—1MP (low) resolution VGA—640 by 480 (lowest) resolution; lowest quality NOTE At higher compression levels, image quality is reduced.
NOTE When you use digital zoom, the resolution changes as you zoom in. See Digital Zoom on page 41. White Balance Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites appear white in the final image.
Setting Description Shade The camera balances color assuming the subject is outdoors in shade, in dark cloudy conditions, or at dusk. Tungsten The camera balances color based on incandescent or halogen lighting (typically found in homes). Fluorescent The camera balances color based on fluorescent lighting. Manual The camera calculates a custom White Balance based on your target image (see the following subsection).
Manual White Balance If you select the Manual option, the Manual White Balance screen displays. The Live View portion of the screen shows the color tint from the previous Manual White Balance setting that was made. NOTE To restore the previous Manual White Balance setting, simply press the Menu/ OK button in the Manual White Balance screen without pressing the Shutter button.
ISO Speed NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips. 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 will capture the best quality 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, you may want to use a tripod.
AE Metering NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips. This setting allows you to specify which region of a scene the camera will use to calculate the exposure. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select AE Metering. 2 In the AE Metering sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. The new setting is applied to the Live View screen behind the menu, so you can see the effect each setting will have on the picture. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu.
Setting Description Center- The camera uses a large area in the center of the Weighted scene region to measure and calculate exposure. This setting is good to use when the subject of the picture is in the center of the frame. Exposure will be based more on the subject than on its surroundings. This is the default setting. Spot The camera uses a small area in the center of the scene region to measure and calculate exposure.
Adaptive Lighting NOTE This setting does not apply in Panorama mode or when recording video clips. This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but compressing harsh contrasts. Some areas in the picture are lightened, while others are left alone.
You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without regular flash, but it is not recommended as a replacement for regular flash. Unlike regular 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 regular flash or a tripod. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select Adaptive Lighting. 2 In the Adaptive Lighting submenu, use the buttons to highlight a setting.
Color This setting allows you to control the color in which your images will be captured. For example, when you set Color to Sepia, your images will be captured in brown colors to make them look aged or old-fashioned. NOTE Once you have taken a picture using either the Black & White or Sepia setting, the image cannot be adjusted back to Full Color later. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select Color. 2 In the Color sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting.
Saturation This setting allows you to determine how saturated the colors will be in your pictures. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select Saturation. 2 In the Saturation sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table helps explain the settings in more detail: Setting Description Low - Mutes colors to give a softer, more “natural” look to the subject. Medium Colors will be normally saturated.
Sharpness NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips. This setting allows you to set how sharp the fine detail will be in your images. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select Sharpness. 2 In the Sharpness sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table helps explain the settings in more detail: Setting Description Low - The edges in your images will be softer, with less grain (or noise).
Contrast This setting allows you to control how much contrast there will be between the dark and light colors in your captured images, including the amount of detail there will be in the highlights and shadows within the images. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select Contrast. 2 In the Contrast sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu.
AE Bracketing NOTE This setting does not apply in Panorama mode. This setting allows you to take three pictures with the camera, with each picture set to a different exposure value. When you select one of the AE (automatic exposure) Bracketing settings, the camera will take the first picture at normal exposure (0 exposure value), followed by an underexposed picture at the negative (-) exposure value in the setting, and finally an overexposed picture at the positive (+) exposure value in the setting.
4 To take the three pictures, each at a different exposure setting, simply press the Shutter button all the way down one time. The entire 3–shot sequence is taken with one press of the Shutter button, as long as there is enough space in the memory buffer of the camera to store all three images. Be sure to hold the camera still until all three pictures have been taken. After the three pictures have been taken, each image appears one at a time on the Image Display.
Date & Time Imprint NOTE This setting does not apply in Panorama mode or when recording video clips. This setting imprints either the date or the date and time of when the image was captured in the lower left-hand corner of the image. Once you select either of the Date & Time Imprint settings, the date or date and time will be imprinted on all subsequent still images that are captured, not to previously captured images.
The following table helps explain the settings in more detail: Setting Off Description The camera will not imprint a date or date and time on the image. Date Only The camera will permanently imprint the date in the lower left-hand corner of the image. Date & Time The camera will permanently imprint the date and time in the lower left-hand corner of the image.
