# Icon Description 4 Battery level (actual icon shown depends on the state of your camera batteries; see Managing batteries on page 99). 5 Focus brackets (see the next section, Using the focus brackets). NOTE If you change other camera settings, icons for those settings will also be displayed across the top and bottom of the Live View screen. For more information, see Advanced capture settings on page 37. Using the focus brackets The two brackets in the middle of the Live View screen show the focus region for the picture you are taking. When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera uses this focus region to measure and then lock the focus using this region. This is called Focus Lock. The focus brackets turn green in the Live View screen and the AF viewfinder light turns on solid green when the image is in focus and the camera can lock the focus. However, the focus brackets turn red and the AF viewfinder light blinks green when the camera is unable to focus. If the focus brackets turn red and the AF viewfinder light blinks, release the Shutter button, re-frame the subject for your picture, and then press the Shutter button halfway down again. If the camera still cannot focus after several tries, the lighting may be too low, or there may not be enough contrast in the focus region. Try using Focus Lock to focus on an object about the same distance away but in a higher-contrast region, then point the camera at the object you were originally trying to photograph. 26 hp photosmart 730 series user's manual

If you change other camera settings, icons for those
settings will also be displayed across the top and bottom
of the

screen. For more information, see
Advanced capture settings
on page 37.
Using the focus brackets
The two brackets in the middle of the
Live View
screen show the
focus region for the picture you are taking. When you press the
Shutter
button halfway down, the camera uses this focus region
to measure and then lock the focus using this region. This is
called
Focus Lock.
The focus brackets turn green in the
Live View
screen and the
AF
viewfinder light turns on solid green when the image is in
focus and the camera can lock the focus. However, the focus
brackets turn red and the
AF
viewfinder light blinks green when
the camera is unable to focus.
If the focus brackets turn red and the
AF
viewfinder light blinks,
release the
Shutter
button, re-frame the subject for your picture,
and then press the
Shutter
button halfway down again. If the
camera still cannot focus after several tries, the lighting may be
too low, or there may not be enough contrast in the focus
region. Try using
Focus Lock
to focus on an object about the
same distance away but in a higher-contrast region, then point
the camera at the object you were originally trying to
photograph.
