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
button half way down. After the camera has focused, be sure to push the
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 page 19.
•
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.
