Auto Focus and Auto Exposure

Page 19 highlights

Auto Focus and Auto Exposure The camera automatically focuses and adjusts the exposure for the current lighting conditions when you press the shutter button. Prepare early by framing your photo and pressing the shutter button 1/2 way down, especially when you are photographing an active subject. When the steady green light appears next to the viewfinder, the camera has achieved focus and adjusted the exposure. You can then press the shutter button all the way down at the exact moment you wish to capture the image. The camera will adjust the focus and exposure automatically even if you press the shutter button all the way down without pausing. But, you are more likely to catch the perfect shot if you set the camera's focus and exposure early by pressing the shutter button 1/2 way down, and then pressing the shutter button all the way down at the exact moment you wish to capture the image. If the camera cannot find a focus or there is not enough light to illuminate the subject, a blinking green light appears to the right of the viewfinder. You can still take the photo, but the results may not be optimal. For better results, try the suggestions found under "Tips for taking the best photos" on page 23. www.hp.com/photosmart 19
