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.
Recording Audio with Still Pictures There are two ways to attach an audio clip to a still picture: • Add an audio clip to the picture later, or re-record the audio that was captured when the picture was taken. For details on how to do this, see Record Audio on page 61. • Record the audio while you are taking the picture, as explained in this section. You will not be able to use this method when using the Self-Timer or Burst settings.
Recording Video Clips NOTE Zoom is disabled while recording video clips. 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 on the top of the camera. The Video viewfinder light turns on solid red. If Live View is on, a video icon, REC, a video counter, and a message instructing how to end the video appear on the Image Display. (See Using Live View on page 30.
NOTE To hear the audio portion of your video clips, you must use a computer or television (TV). If you have an optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, you can review the audio portion of your video clips by connecting the camera to a TV via the camera dock. To do this, see the dock User’s Manual for instructions. Using Live View The Image Display allows you to frame pictures and video clips using Live View. To activate Live View from the menus or when the Image Display is off, press the Live View button.
1 2 3 4 5 # Icon Description 1 Indicates that a memory card is installed in the camera 2 Power indicator, such as this low battery level indicator (see Power Indicators on page 133) 3 12 Remaining pictures count (actual number depends on the current Image Quality setting and how much space remains in memory) 4 3MP Image Quality setting (default is 3MP) 5 Focus brackets (see Using Auto Focus on page 31) Focusing the Camera Using Auto Focus The focus brackets in the Live View screen show the focu
When you have the camera set to any of the shooting modes other than Macro (see Using the Shooting Modes on page 38), the camera will attempt to auto focus still pictures using the normal focus range of 0.5 m (20 in) to infinity. However, when the camera cannot focus in these shooting modes, one of the following will occur: z The AF viewfinder light will blink green and the focus brackets in Live View will turn red. The camera will still take the picture, but the picture may be out of focus.
z The AF viewfinder light will blink green, the focus brackets will turn red, and the Macro icon will blink in the Live View screen. In this case, the camera detects that the focus is closer than the normal range. The camera will still take the picture, but the picture may be out of focus. To focus the picture, either move farther away from the subject you are trying to photograph, or set the camera to the Macro shooting mode (see Using the Shooting Modes on page 38).
Using Focus Lock Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low contrast situations. 1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets. 2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and exposure.
Press Zoom Out and Zoom In on the Zoom lever to move the lens between wide angle (1x) and telephoto (3x) positions. Digital Zoom NOTE Digital zoom is disabled while recording video clips. Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses no moving lens parts. The camera essentially crops the image to give an appearance of the subject of the picture being an additional 1.1x to 5x larger with the HP M307 camera, or 1.1x to 3x larger with the HP M305 camera.
NOTE Digital zoom reduces the resolution of an image, so your picture will tend to be more pixilated than the same image taken with optical zoom. If you just intend to e-mail an image or post it to a website, this loss of resolution will not be noticeable; but in situations where the highest quality counts (such as printing), limit the use of digital zoom. It is also recommended that you use a tripod when using digital zoom.
Setting Description Flash Off The camera will not use flash, no matter the lighting conditions. Night The camera uses the flash if necessary and red-eye reduction to illuminate objects in the foreground (see the following NOTE for a description of red-eye reduction). The camera then continues to expose as if the flash had not been used to gather the background.
Using the Shooting Modes Shooting modes are pre-defined camera settings that are optimized for taking still pictures of certain scene types to give you better results. In each shooting mode, the camera selects the best settings, such as the ISO speed, F-number (aperture), and shutter speed, optimizing them for the particular scene or situation. NOTE The shooting mode does not apply when you are recording video clips.
Setting Description Action The camera uses fast shutter speeds and higher ISO speeds to stop motion. Use Action mode to capture sporting events, moving cars, or any scene where you want to stop the action. Portrait The camera combines a smaller F-number to blur the background, with lower sharpness for a more natural effect. Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or more people as their primary focal point.
Using the Self-Timer Settings 1 Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable surface. 2 Press the Timer/Burst button until Self-Timer or SelfTimer - 2 Shots appears in the Image Display. 3 Frame the subject in either the viewfinder or in Live View. (See Using Live View on page 30.) 4 The next steps depend on whether you are capturing one or two still pictures, or are recording a video clip. For Still Pictures: a.
For Video Clips: To start recording video, press the Video button and then release it. 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 starts recording the video. NOTE With either the Self-Timer or the Self-Timer - 2 Shots setting, only one video clip is recorded after the 10second countdown.
Using the Burst Setting Burst allows you to take up to 4 still pictures as quickly as possible. The camera then continues taking burst pictures at a slower rate until you release the Shutter button or the camera runs out of memory. NOTE The Burst setting is disabled 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 61). Also, the flash is disabled while using the Burst setting.
Using the Capture Menu The Capture Menu allows you to adjust various camera settings that affect the characteristics 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. 2 Use the buttons to scroll through the Capture Menu options.
NOTE To restore Capture Menu settings to what they were when you last turned the camera off, hold down the Menu/OK button as you turn the camera back on. 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.
1 In the Capture Menu (page 43), select EV Compensation. 2 In the EV Compensation submenu, use the buttons to change the EV setting in 0.5 steps from -2.0 to +2.0. 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. If the setting is anything other than the default setting of 0.0, the number value will appear in the Live View screen next to the icon.
1 In the Capture Menu (page 43), select Image Quality. 2 In the Image Quality sub-menu, buttons to use the highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table explains the Image Quality settings in more detail: Setting Description 3MP Best Images will be full resolution and have the lowest compression. This setting produces very high quality images, with greater color accuracy, but uses the most memory.
The Image Quality setting not only affects the quality of the images but, as a result, also the number 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 higher compression. For example, the highest setting, 3MP Best, results in high quality images, but consumes more storage space in memory than the next lower setting, 3MP.
1 In the Capture Menu (page 43), select White Balance. 2 In the White Balance 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. The following table explains the settings in more detail: Setting Description Auto The camera automatically identifies and corrects for scene illuminance.
ISO Speed NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips, or when the shooting mode is set to Fast Shot. 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.
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 After 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 43), select Color. 2 In the Color sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting.
NOTE After you have taken a picture using either the Date Only or Date & Time setting, the date or date and time that is imprinted on the image cannot be removed later. NOTE The date or date and time imprint will be visible in Playback, but it will not be visible in Instant Review. NOTE If you rotate the image using the Rotate option in the Playback Menu (page 58), the date or date and time imprint will likewise rotate with the image. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 43), select Date & Time Imprint.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support This chapter contains information on the following topics: z Resetting the camera (page 88) z Using the camera without installing the HP Image Zone software (page 89) z Cleaning the camera lens (page 94) z Possible problems, causes, and solutions (page 95) z Error messages on the camera (page 109) z Error messages on the computer (page 119) z How to get assistance from HP (page 122) NOTE For more information about solutions to problems mentioned here, as
Resetting the Camera If your camera does not respond when you press any buttons, try resetting the camera as follows: 1 Turn off the camera. 2 If you have an optional memory card installed, remove it. (Although removing an optional memory card is not necessary for performing the reset, it eliminates the memory card as a possible cause of the problem.
Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software If you do not, or cannot, install the HP Image Zone software on your computer for some reason (such as there is not enough RAM in your computer, or your computer is not running a supported operating system), you can still use your camera to take pictures and video clips.
Transferring Images to a Computer without HP Image Zone Software NOTE If you have a Windows Me, 2000, or XP system, or a Mac OS X system, you do not need to read this section. Simply connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, and the operating system will launch a program to help you transfer images.
4 Two directories (folders) appear under the removable disk. Click on the + sign next to the folder called DCIM, and a subdirectory should appear. When you click on the subdirectory under DCIM, the list of your images should appear on the right side of the Explorer screen. 5 Select all the images (in the Edit pull-down menu click on Select All), then copy them (in the Edit menu click on Copy). 6 Click on the Local Disk under My Computer. You are now working in your computer's hard disk drive.
Transferring Images to a Macintosh Computer 1 Remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into the memory card reader (or the memory card slot in your computer or printer). 2 Depending on the configuration and/or version of the Mac OS X operating system you are running, either an application called Image Capture or one called iPhoto will launch automatically and guide you through the process of transferring images from your camera to your computer.
Configuring the Camera as a Disk Drive This method sets up your camera to function as a disk drive when it is connected to your computer. NOTE This method may be unavailable with Windows 98 computers. 1 Set your camera to Disk Drive mode (you only need to do this step once): a. Turn the camera on, then press the Menu/OK button to display the Capture Menu. b. Use the button to navigate to the Setup Menu . c. Use the button to highlight the USB menu option, and then press Menu/OK. d. Use the Menu/OK.
NOTE On Macintosh computers, if either Image Capture or iPhoto do not launch automatically, look on the desktop for a disk drive icon with the label HP_M305 or HP_M307. For more information about how to copy files, visit Mac help, the help system included with your computer. Cleaning the Camera Lens Do the following to remove lubricant that has seeped from the lens wink mechanism onto the camera lens, as well as fingerprints, dust, and so forth that have accumulated on the lens.

For best results, use missing, or are Energizer Lithium AA or the wrong type. Solution rechargeable NiMH AA batteries.
Problem Possible cause Solution The camera does not turn on (continued). The optional memory card is not a supported card or is corrupted. Ensure that the memory card is the proper type for your camera (see Storage on page 145). If the card is the proper type, remove the memory card and see if you can turn on the camera. If you can turn on the camera with the memory card removed, then the card is probably corrupted. Replace the memory card. The camera has stopped operating.
Problem Possible cause Solution I have to replace or recharge the batteries frequently. Extended Image Display use for Live View or video recording, excessive flash use, and excessive zooming consume a lot of battery power. See Extending Battery Life on page 130. The NiMH batteries you are using were recharged incorrectly, or have drained on their own because they have not been used lately.
Problem Possible cause Solution The camera batteries will not charge. Rechargeable batteries are not inserted. Install NiMH batteries. Lithium batteries cannot be recharged. Batteries are already charged. Battery charging will not start if the NiMH batteries were recently charged. Try charging them again after they have drained awhile. The wrong AC Use only the HP AC power power adapter adapter approved for use with is being used.
Problem Possible cause Solution The camera batteries will not charge (continued). The batteries are damaged or bad. NiMH batteries degrade over time and can fail. If the camera detects a problem with the batteries, it will not start charging or will stop charging prematurely. Purchase new batteries. Batteries are not inserted correctly. Ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly (see page 10). The camera does not respond when I press a button.
Problem Possible cause Solution The camera does not respond when I press a button (continued). The camera has stopped operating. Reset the camera (see Resetting the Camera on page 88).

Problem Possible cause Solution My image is too dark. There was not enough light. z Wait for natural lighting conditions to improve. z Add indirect lighting. z Use the flash (see page 36). z Increase the EV Compensation (see page 44). The flash was on, but the subject was too far away. Make sure your subject is within the flash working distance (see page 144). If so, try using the setting (see Flash Off page 36), which will require a longer exposure (use a tripod). A light is behind the subject.
Problem Possible cause Solution My image is grainy. The camera was too warm when the picture was taken. The camera may have been on for a long time or had been stored in a hot location. This effect, which can happen on all digital cameras, is probably not noticeable in most images. The effect will diminish as the camera cools. For best image quality, avoid storing the camera in very hot locations.
Problem Possible cause The wrong date and/or time is shown. The date and/ Reset the date and time by using or time was set the Date & Time option in the incorrectly or Setup Menu (see page 82). the time zone has changed.

Appendix A: Managing Batteries Your camera uses two AA batteries. Do not use ordinary alkaline batteries. For best results, use Energizer Lithium AA or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA batteries. Top Points About Batteries z The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure that you fully charge them before using them in the camera.
z The performance of all batteries will decrease as the temperature drops. For best performance in cold environments, use Energizer Lithium AA batteries. NiMH batteries may also provide acceptable low temperature performance. To improve the performance of all battery types, keep the camera and/or batteries stored in a warm inside pocket when in a cold environment.
z Minimize unnecessary power cycling. If you expect to average more than two pictures every five minutes, leave the camera on with the Image Display off, rather than turning off the camera after each shot. This minimizes the number of times the lens must extend and retract. z Use the optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart M-series dock when the camera will be on for extended periods of time, such as when you transfer images to your computer or when printing.
z Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite. z 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.
Power Indicators The following icons may be displayed on the status screen, in Live View, in Playback, and when the camera is connected to a computer or printer. If no icon is displayed, this means that the camera is using battery power. Icon Description Batteries are running low. Camera will power down soon. Camera is operating on AC power (with nonrechargeable batteries or no batteries installed). Animated battery filling up Camera is operating on AC power and is charging the batteries.
Recharging NiMH Batteries NiMH batteries can be recharged in the camera when the camera is connected to an optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart M-series dock. NiMH batteries can also be recharged with the optional HP Photosmart battery quick recharger. See Appendix B: Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 139. When the HP AC adapter is used to charge the batteries and the camera is off, the Power light on the back of the camera will blink during charging.
If you will not be using your camera immediately after charging the batteries, we recommend that you leave the camera in the dock or plugged in to the HP AC adapter. The camera will top off the batteries periodically to ensure that the camera is always ready for use. Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are as follows: z The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure that you fully charge them before using them in the camera.
z The camera, the dock, or the quick recharger may be warm while operating and charging NiMH batteries. This is normal. z NiMH batteries can be left in the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger for any period of time without harm to the batteries or the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger. Always store charged batteries in a cool location. Safety Precautions for Recharging NiMH Batteries z Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger.
z After extensive use, an NiMH battery may begin to swell. If it becomes difficult to insert an NiMH battery into or remove the battery from the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger, discontinue use of the battery and replace it with a new one. Please recycle the old battery. Sleep Time-out for Power Conservation To conserve battery power, the Image Display turns off automatically if there is no button activity for 20 seconds when in Live View or 30 seconds when in any other mode.
